"Ashamed of me"

Author: Joseph Grigg Appears in 1,307 hymnals Topics: Love, and Communion With Christ First Line: Jesus! and shall it ever be Lyrics: 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 evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 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. 4 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may, When I've no guilt to wash away; No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 5 Till then nor is my boasting vain Till then, I boast a Saviour slain! And, oh, may this my glory be That Christ is not ashamed of me! Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET

Author: C. H. M. Meter: 9.10.9.10 Appears in 242 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart, Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art. Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast; Shelter me safe in that haven of rest, Shelter me safe in that haven of rest. 2 Nearer, still nearer; nothing I bring, Naught as an offering to Jesus, my King– Only my sinful, now contrite heart; Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart, Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart. 3 Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine, Sin with its follies, I gladly resign, All of its pleasures, pomp, and its pride; Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified, Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified. 4 Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last, Till safe in glory my anchor is cast; Through endless ages, ever to be Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee, Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.

Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,757 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies. Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
