Hymn Story: Take The Name Of Jesus With You
Hymn Stories: Take the Name of Jesus with You
(Sam Stack) Acts
2:38 Repent, and let every one of you be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins
Philippians
2:9-10 Therefore God also has highly
exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name
of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and
of those under the earth.
Colossians
3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
Lydia
Baxter was born in Petersburg New York on September 8, 1809.
She
and her sister became Christians at an early age. She later married Colonel John C. Baxter and
moved to New York City. She was a
devoted worker for the cause of Christ, until a severe illness left her
bedridden.
The Baxter home became a gathering place for Christian workers. She once told friends that despite her health problems she “had 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.”
In
1870, Lydia wrote the text to Take the name of Jesus with You. It was set to
music and published by William H. Doane and has remained in constant use.

the name of Jesus with you
Child

the name of Jesus ever
As

When
his loving arms receive us
And
his songs our tongues employ

When
our journey is complete

Hope
of earth and joy of Heaven
