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.

Refrain

Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of Heav’n.
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of Heav’n.

Take the name of Je­sus ever,
As a shield from ev­ery snare;
If temp­ta­tions round you ga­ther,
Breathe that ho­ly name in pray­er.

Refrain

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!

Refrain

At the name of Je­sus bow­ing,
Falling pros­trate at His feet,
King of kings in Heav’n we’ll crown Him,
When our jour­ney is com­plete.
