The Morning Star ‎#43

43. Not ashamed of Christ

1 Ashamed of Christ! our souls disdain
The mean, ungen'rous thought;
Shall we disown that Friend whose blood
To man salvation brought?

2 With the glad news of love and peace,
From heaven to earth He came;
For us endured the painful cross,
For us despised the shame.

3 At His command let us submit
Ourselves without delay;
Our lives--yea, thousand lives of ours--
His love can ne'er replay.

4 To bear His name--His cross to bear--
Our highest honor this!
Who nobly suffers for Him now,
Shall reign with Him in bliss.
