Take The Name Of Jesus With You

Lydia Baxter was a bed-ridden invalid much of her life,. Yet she reminded her friends, "I have the name of Jesus. When the tempter tries to make me blue or despondent, I mention the name of Jesus, and he can't get through to me anymore."

verse 2
Take the name of Jesus ever
As protection everywhere;
If temptations 'round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.

verse 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.
