Tune composed in 1871 by William H. Doane (1832-1916)

Take the Name of Jesus With You

Psalm 72:19 Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.

V. 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, Oh how sweet!

Hope of earth and joy of heaven;

Precious name, O how sweet!

Hope of earth and joy of heaven.

V. 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

V. 3 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!

Refrain

Revelation 17:14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.

V. 4 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
