I'm not ashamed to own my Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 677 hymnals 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 Till 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.

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 219 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look at heav'n and long to enter in; But there no evil thing may find a home; And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand In the pure glory of that holy land? Before the whiteness of that throne appear? Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near. 3 The while I fain would tread the heav'nly way, Evil is ever with me day by day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, "Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all." 4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear; His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And his the blood that can for all atone And set me faultless there before the throne. 5 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer, That in the Father's courts my glorious dress May be the garment of thy righteousness. 6 Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord; Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown; Mine the life won, and thine the life laid down.

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be: Perish ev'ry fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest: O 'tis not in grief to harm me While thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find in ev'ry station Something still to do or bear; Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste then on from grace to glory, Armed by faith, and winged by prayer; Heav'n's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission; Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen.
