I’m Not Ashamed of Jesus

Lyrics

Jesus and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of Thee?
Ashamed of Thee whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine thru endless day.

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.

Ashamed of Jesus, just as soon
Let midnight be ashamed of noon;
’Tis midnight with my soul ’till He,
Bright morning star, bids darkness flee.

Ashamed of Jesus my dear Friend
On whom my hopes for life depend!
No, when I blush, be this my shame,
That I no more adore His name.
