LyicsAsham'd of Christ! My soul disdain
The mean ungen'rous thought;
Shall I disown that friend, whose blood
To man salvation brought!
With the glad news of love and peace
From heaven to earth he came,
For us endur'd the painful cross,
For us despis'd the shame.
At his command we must take up
Our cross without delay;
Our lives - and thousand lives of ours
His love can ne'er repay.
Each faithful sufferer Jesus views
With infinite delight;
Their lives to him are dear, their deaths
Are Precious in his sight.
To bear his name, his cross to bear,
Our highest honor this!
Who nobly suffers now for him,
Shall reign with him in bliss.
But should we in the evil day
From our profession fly,
Jesus, the Judge, before the world
The traitor will deny.
