Ashamed of Thee! O dearest Lord

Author: Bp. W. W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ashamed of Thee! O dearest Lord, I marvel how such wrong can be; And yet how oft in deed and word Have I been found ashamed of Thee! 2 Ashamed of Thee! my King, my God, Who soughtest me with wondrous love, Whose feet the way of sorrow trod To bring me to Thy home above. 3 Ashamed of Thee! of that blest Name Which speaks of mercy full and free! Nay, Lord, I would my only shame Might be to be ashamed of Thee. 4 Ashamed of Thee! Whose love divine Was not ashamed of our lost race, But even this cold heart of mine Dost make Thy home and dwelling-place. 5 Ashamed of Thee! O Lord, I pray This cruel wrong no more may be; And in Thy last great Advent-day, Oh, be not Thou ashamed of me! Amen.

Is It Indeed Too Late?

Author: Lucy A. Bennett Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Is it indeed too late, too late Lyrics: 1 Is it indeed too late, too late? Does Truth retain no open gate? Is there no way to enter in? No expiation for my sin? 2 Is there no heart to brave the worst? No hand that will my fetters burst? O human love, O Love Divine, Have ye not chords to answer mine? 3 O smitten Rock, Thy sacred cleft Invites—no other refuge left; Though none had tenderness beside, In Thy great tenderness I hide. 4 Here, from the sacred crimson stream, The broad bright belts of mercy gleam; Here, from the deepest depths of shame, Is found forgiveness through the Name. 5 Give me, O living Bread, to feed On Thee, and satisfy my need; Touch with Thy piercèd hand my chain, And not a fetter shall remain. 6 O Lord of lords, O Light of light, Faith climbs to Thee form death’s dark night; Thyself the antidote of care, The sweet “Amen” to life’s long prayer; Used With Tune: ANGELUS
