Jesus, And Shall It Ever Be,
A Mortal Man Ashamed Of Thee:
Ashamed Of Thee, Whom Angels Praise,
Whose Glory Shines Through Endless Days.
Ashamed Of Jesus! Sooner Far
Let Evening Blush To Own A Star!
He Sheds The Beams Of Light Divine
Over This Benighted Soul Of Mine.
Ashamed Of Jesus! Just As Soon
Let Morning Be Ashamed Of Noon;
’Tis Midnight With My Soul, Till He,
Bright Morning Star, Bid Darkness Flee.
Ashamed Of Jesus! That Dear Friend,
On Whom My Hopes Of Heaven Depend!
No! When I Blush, Be This My Shame,
That I No More Revere His Name.
Ashamed Of Jesus! Yes, I May,
When I’ve No Guilt To Wash Away,
No Tear To Wipe, No Good To Crave,
No Fears To Quell, No Soul To Save.
Till Then Nor Is My Boasting Vain
Till Then I’ll Boast A Saviour Slain!
And O! May This My Glory Be,
That Christ Is Not Ashamed Of Me!
His Institutions Would I Prize,
Take Up My Cross, The Shame Despise
Dare To Defend His Noble Cause,
And Yield Obedience To His Laws.
