I'm Not Ashamed to Own My Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 705 hymnals Topics: Profession of Faith Lyrics: 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. 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 'til the decisive hour. 4 Then will he own my worthless name before his Father's face, and in the new Jerusalem appoint my soul a place. Scripture: Romans 1:16 Used With Tune: PISGAH

I Was a Wandering Sheep

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 501 hymnals Topics: Profession of Faith Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd’s voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my home, I did not love my Father’s voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o’er vale and hill, O’er deserts waste and wild. They found me nigh to death, Famished and faint and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is; ’Twas He that loved my soul, ’Twas He that washed me in His blood, ’Twas He that made me whole. ’Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; ’Twas He that brought me to the fold, ’Tis He that still doth keep. 4 No more a wandering sheep! I love to be controlled, I love my tender Shepherd’s voice, I love the peaceful fold. No more a wayward child! I seek no more to roam; I love my heavenly Father’s voice, I love, I love His home. Used With Tune: LEBANON

I am weak, but Thou are mighty; hold me with Thy pow'rful hand. Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more; feed me till I want no more. 2 Open now the crystal fountain, whence the healing stream doth flow. Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliv'rer, strong Deliv'rer, be Thou still my Strength and Shield; be Thou still my Strength and Shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside. Death of death, and hell's destruction, land me safe on Canaan's side. Songs of praises, songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee; I will ever give to Thee. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA
