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.

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.
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.
If temptations ’round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.
As a shield from every snare.
If temptations ’round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.

Oh, the precious name of Jesus,
How it thrills our souls with joy;
All the favor of the Father
In this name we may enjoy.
How it thrills our souls with joy;
All the favor of the Father
In this name we may enjoy.

At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
Claim His vict’ry over evil
And the enemy defeat.
Falling prostrate at His feet,
Claim His vict’ry over evil
And the enemy defeat.

I woke up in the middle of the night, unable to sleep and trying to pray and read the word of God, when the Holy Spirit dropped this hymn that I have learnt from my childhood but forgotten over the years to my mind. Thank you Jesus, for the power in your name.
God is eminent in the words of this song.... thank you Jesus for giving us access to that name.... JESUS!!!

One of the most beautiful hymns. Every verse is a personal connection with God.

I'm always blessed when singing this hymn. Since my childhood in the Apostolic Church Cameroon at the Obili assembly we have been singing this hymn with a martial beat.

Woke up around 2am and just wondering about the insecurities in my country and just wondering what prayer I can do, and immediately the name Jesus came to my mind, and I remembered how just at the mention of the name I was saved from dieing several years ago, and I started singing the hymn and had to look for the lyrics and I got here. The name Jesus is so powerful.
