Jesus, and can it ever be
Author: Gregg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,270 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:32-33 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and can it ever be,

Bow at his footstool and adore!

May evening blush to own a star:
Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon
May midnight be ashamed of noon.

When I've no crimes to wash away;
No tears to wipe, no joys to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save!
4 Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend
On whom my hopes of heaven depend!

That I no more revere his name. Topics: The Christian Life Consecration and Activity; Not Ashamed of Jesus

"I'm not ashamed"
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 672 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:32 First Line: I'm not ashamed to own my Lord 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.

His name is all my trust;
Nor will he put my soul to shame,
Nor let my hope be lost.

And he can well secure
What I've committed to his hands,
Till the decisive hour.

Before his Father's face,
And in the new Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place. Topics: Ashamed of Jesus; Book of Life; Christians Encouragements; Courage; Cross of Christ Glorying in Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 619 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
be now and ever near me,
my master and my friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 O let me feel you near me;
the world is ever near:
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw still nearer
and shield my soul from sin!
3 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
and speak to make me listen,
O guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you
that where you are in glory
your servants shall be too.
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my master and my friend. Topics: Invitation and Response; Assurance; Christ--Invitation of; Christian warfare; Covenant; Discipleship; Following Christ; Invitation and Response; Invitation and Response; Ordination; Temptation of believers; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

Go to Dark Gethsemane
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 503 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
all who feel the tempter’s power;
your Redeemer’s conflict see;
watch with him one bitter hour;
turn not from his griefs away;
learn from Jesus Christ to pray.
2 Follow to the judgment hall;
view the Lord of life arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
learn from him to bear the cross.
3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb;
there, adoring at his feet,
mark that miracle of time,
God’s own sacrifice complete;
“It is finished!” hear him cry;
learn from Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
where they laid his breathless clay:
all is solitude and gloom.
Who has taken him away?
Christ is risen! He meets our eyes.
Savior, teach us so to rise. Topics: Christian Year Palm Sunday; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Christian Year Good Friday; Christian Year Resurrection/Easter; Jesus Christ Passion and Death Used With Tune: REDHEAD 76
