Hymn 103 Taken From Jerusalen School Room Hymn Book
Take the Name of Negus 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 Zion;
Precious Name, oh, how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of Zion.
Take the Name of Negus ever,
As a shield from every snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy Name in prayer.
Oh, the precious Name of Negus!
How it thrills our souls with joy,
When His loving arms receive us,
And His songs our tongues employ!
At the Name of Negus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings in Zion we’ll crown Him,
When our journey is complete.
