- 1Jesus! and shall it ever be,
- A mortal man ashamed of Thee?
- Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise,
- Whose glories shine through endless days?
- 2Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far
- Let evening blush to own a star;
- He sheds the beams of light divine
- O'er this benighted soul of mine.
- 3Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon
- Let midnight be ashamed of noon:
- 'Tis midnight with my soul, till He,
- Bright Morningstar, bids darkness flee.
- 4Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend
- On whom my hopes of heav'n depend?
- No; when I blush, be this my shame,
- That I no more revere His name.
- 5Ashamed 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.
- 6Till then--nor is my boasting vain--
- Till then I boast a Savior slain;
- And O may this my glory be,
- That Christ is not ashamed of me.
