Take the Name of Jesus with You Lyrics
Author: Lydia Baxter
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’re 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.
2 Take the name of Jesus ever
As protection everywhere.
If temptations ’round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer. [Refrain]
3 At the name of Jesus bowing,
When in heaven we shall meet,
King of kings, we’ll gladly crown Him
When our journey is complete. [Refrain]
Take the Name of Jesus with You Hymn Story
“Take Thy Name of Jesus with You” is a Christian hymn that was composed by Lydia Baxter. It was first published in 1870.
It is a song that emphasizes the need to have Jesus with us every time. Christians are called that way because we are followers of Jesus Christ.
And you can’t be followers of Christ some of the time. You must follow him all the time.
As we do that, he will comfort us in our sorrows. He will protect us from temptations and from harm.
And finally in heaven he will give us a crown.
