Verse 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.
Verse 2:Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from ev'ry snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.
Verse 3:Oh, the precious name of Jesus,
How it thri lls our souls with joy,
When His loving arms receive us,
And His songs our tongues employ!
Verse 4:At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of Kings in heaven we'll crown Him,
When our Journey is complete.
