Take the name of Jesus with you
Child of sorrow and of woe
It will joy and comfort give you
Take it then where're you go
Precious name (precious name)
O how sweet (O how sweet)
Hope of earth and joy of him
Precious name (precious name)
O how sweet (how sweet)
Hope of earth and joy of him
Take the name of Jesus ever
As a shield from every 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 him
Precious name (precious name)
O how sweet (how sweet)
Hope of earth and joy of him"
