108. Take the Name of Jesus With You

1 Take the name of Jesus with you,
Child of sorrow and of woe;
It will joy and comfort give you,
Take it then, where'er you go.

Chorus:
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n.

2 Take the name of Jesus ever
As a shield from ev'ry snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in pray'r. [Chorus]

3 O the precious name of Jesus!
How it thrills our souls with joy,
When His loving arms receive us,
And His songs our tongues employ! [Chorus]

4 At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings in heaven reigning,
As we stand in Him complete. [Chorus]
