O Jesus, Shall It Ever Be

Author: Joseph Grigg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,298 hymnals Topics: Confessing Christ Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, 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 evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon; '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 Soon shall He come with power to bless All who do here His Name confess; And then may this my glory be, That He is not ashamed of me! Amen. Used With Tune: BROOKFIELD
