Jesus, and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of thee? Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? | Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let night disown each radiant star; Tis midnight with my soul, till he, Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee. | Ashamed of Jesus! O as soon Let morning blush to own the sun! He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. | 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! empty pride! I'll boast a Savior crucified; And O may this my portion be, My Savior not ashamed of me. | |
