Oh, the precious name of Jesus How it thrills our souls with joy When His loving arms receive us And His songs our tongues employ 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 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
