517. I'm not ashamed to own my Lord

1 I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,
Or to defend His cause,
Maintain the honor of His word,
The glory of His cross,
The glory of His cross.

2 Jesus, my God!--I know His name--
His name is all my trust;
Nor will He put my soul to shame,
Nor let my hope be lost.

3 Firm as His throne His promise stands,
And He can well secure
What I've committed to His hands,
Till the decisive hour,
Till the decisive hour.

4 Then will He won my worthless name
Before His Father's face,
And in the new Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place,
Appoint my soul a place.

Amen.
