Take the name of Jesus with you,
Child of sorrow and of roe;
It will joy and comfort give you -
Take it, then, where'er you go,
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;
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,
O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n;
Precious name,
O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n;
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.
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;
