The Gospel Chorus ‎#50

50. Not Ashamed of Jesus

1 Jesus, and shall it ever be
A mortal man ashamed of Thee?
Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine thro’ endless days?

Refrain:
Ashamed of Jesus, I never, I never will be,
For my dear Saviour is not ashamed of me;
No; when I blush, be this my shame
That I no more revere His name.

2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far
Let evening blush to own her star;
He sheds the beams of light divine
O’er this benighted soul of mine. [Refrain]

3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon
Let midnight be ashamed of noon;
‘Tis midnight with my soul till He,
Bright Morning Star, bids darkness flee. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
