Hymn 179 - Precious Name

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.

Take the name of Jesus ever

As a shield from ev’ry snare;

If temptations round you gather,

Breathe that holy name in prayer.

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.

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.

REFRAIN

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.
