Precious Name

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11

When things come my way and I don't know which way to turn I know that I can call on Jesus and He will show me the way.  If during the night I am awaken by things  unknown I know that I can speak the name of Jesus and fall back into a peaceful restful sleep.  Jesus, Jesus, there's just something about that name!

Precious Name

by Lydia O. Baxter, 1870

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, O how sweet!

Hope of earth and joy of Heaven.

Precious Name, O how sweet!

Hope of earth and joy of Heaven.
