Text:Jesus, and Shall it Ever Be

312. Jesus, and Shall it Ever Be

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, 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.

3 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.

4 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!
