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.

Refrain:
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.

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

3 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. [Refrain]
