As a shield from every snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer. (Refrain)

When His loving arms receive us,
And His songs our tongues employ. (Refrain)

When our journey is complete. (Refrain) Topics: Choruses Refrains of the following:; Christ Name of ; Devotional; Inner Life; The Christian Way of Life Praise and Testimony Languages: English Tune Title: [Take the name of Jesus with you]
