474. Take the Name of Jesus With You

Eb
Take the name of Jesus with you,

Ab                     Eb
Child of sorrow and of woe;

Bb7                     Eb
It will joy and comfort give you,

Bb7                   Eb
Take it, where’er you go.

         Ab          Eb
Precious name, O how sweet!

                         Bb
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;

Bb7      Eb          Ab
Precious name, O how sweet!

        Eb        Bb7    Eb
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Take the name of Jesus with you,
Child of sorrow and of woe;
It will joy and comfort give you,
Take it, where’er you go.

[Refrain]
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.

[Verse 2]
Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from every snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.

[Verse 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!

[Verse 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.
