TAKE THE NAME OF JESUS WITH YOU
adapted by Andrew C. Romanowitz (Andrew Micah) from Lydia Baxter’s hymn of the same name (1870), with music by William H. Doane; bridge lyrics adapted from “All Creatures of Our God and King) by St. Francis of Assisi as translated by William H. Draper
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 with you, for the sake of who He is
Every blessing found in heaven, Father God has given us
CHORUS
Precious Name, oh how sweet
Hope of earth and joy of heaven
Precious Name, oh how sweet
Hope of earth and joy of heaven
At the name of Jesus bowing, falling low before His feat
Claim His victory over darkness, see the hosts of hell retreat
BRIDGE
You who long pain and sorrow bear, praise God and on Him cast your care
In all our trials He is near, praise God, He carries all our cares
