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
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
Precious name, (Precious name,) O how sweet! (O how sweet!) Hope of earth and joy of heav'n; Precious name, (Precious name,) O how sweet! (O how sweet, how sweet!) Hope of earth and joy of heav'n.
