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. |

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

I awakened this morning singing this song, although I hadn't heard it for many years. The original stanza that says, "King of Kings and Lords we'll crown Him when our journey is complete" has been a choking point for me for a number of years. If I understand my Bible, when the Father said to Jesus, "Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool," Jesus became King at that moment. He will not be king when He returns, He is NOW king. I love the revised version of those lines, "Claim His victory over evil/And the enemy defeat." It speaks of a triumphant Church applying Calvary's victory to earth's current distress. Awesome.

Praise God!!! What a precious name Jesus is. The deaf hears name of Jesus and start hearing, the dumb speaks, the blind see, the lame walk, the barren becomes fruitful, the sorrowful becomes joyful, the sinner becomes save, the saved soul becomes sanctified and the sanctified believers becomes filled with the Holy Ghost Power. Thank God for Jesus. Amen. Thanks for uploading this song and God bless you all.

Verse 4 in our SDA Church Hymnal: King of kings in Heaven we'll crown Him
When our journey is complete.
This is true, but I like what it says here better: claim His victory over evil, and the enemy defeat.
Faith is the living power that passes through every barrier, overrides each obstacle, and plants its banner in the heart of the enemies' camp.

After my bible study lately, this song continues to permeate my spirit. I feel the spirit ushering me to sing it. Maybe it's just familiar because in my home church after bible study the woman always sang this song, nevertheless it brings me so much joy! Praise God...Amen

The name of Jesus is the easiest weapon to carry with you in the face of battle, no matter how fierce. Just keep breathing it in.
Glory be to God!

For Lydia to write such a wonderful song she must have been filled with the Holy Spirit. It's so uplifting.
