Hymns: Take the Name of Jesus with You

This song, "Take the Name of Jesus with You," offers us a gentle reminder of the power of Jesus' name. The words were written by Lydia Baxter and the music by William H. Doanev. The words remind of us both the darkness we face in this world and the joy that is ours through Jesus. Heed the advice of this old him, and begin to meditate on the glorious riches of Christ.

Take the name of Jesus with you, Child of sorrow and of woe;
It will joy and comfort give you, take it there wher-e're you go.

Chorus:
Precious name, oh, how sweet! Hope of earth and joy of heav'n;
Precious name, oh, how sweet! Hope of earth and joy of heav'n.

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

Oh, the precious name of Jesus, How it thrills our souls with joy,
When His loving arms receive us, and His song our tongues employ.

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.
