Text: | Jesus, and shall it ever be |
Author: | J. Grigg |
Tune: | [Jesus, and shall it ever be] |
Composer: | H. K. Oliver |
1 Jesus, and shall it ever be
A mortal man ashamed of Thee?
Ashamed of Thee, Whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days?
2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far
Let night disown each radiant star;
'Tis midnight with my soul, till He,
Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee.
4 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.
5 Ashamed of Jesus! empty pride!
I'll boast a Saviour crucified;
And oh, may this my portion be,
My Saviour not ashamed of me.
Amen.
