Take the Name of Jesus with You
Lydia Baxter, 1870, alt.
William H. Doane, 1871

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.
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! (how sweet!)
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n.

Take the name of Jesus ever as a shield from ev'ry snare;
If temptations 'round you gather, Breathe that holy name in prayer.
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! (how sweet!)
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n.

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!
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! (how sweet!)
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n.

At the name of Jesus bowing, falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings on earth we'll crown Him When our journey is complete.
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! (how sweet!)
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n.
