Jesus, and shall it ever be

Author: Benjamin Francis; Joseph Grigg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,275 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:38 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! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon: 'Tis midnight with my soul till he, Bright Morning-Star, bid darkness flee. 4 Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heav'n depend! No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere his Name. 5 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. 6 Till then — nor is my boasting vain — Till then I boast a Saviour slain; And O may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me. Amen. Topics: Christ The Light; Christ Saviour; Christian Life Faith in Christ; Gratitude; Need for Christ or God Used With Tune: BROOKFIELD

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,304 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34 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 Let the world despise and leave me, they have left my Savior too; human hearts and looks deceive me; thou art not, like man, untrue; and, while thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, foes may hate and friends may shun me; show thy face, and all is bright. 3 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. 4 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 Savior died to win thee: child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine? 5 Hasten 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.
