LyicsAsham'd of Christ! our souls disdain
The mean, ungen'rous thought;
Shall we disown that friend whose blood
To man salvation brought?
With the glad news of love and peace
From heav'n to earth he came;
For us endur'd the painful cross,
For us despis'd the shame.
To his command let us submit,
Ourselves without delay;
Our lives, yea thousand lives of ours,
His love can ne'er repay.
Each faithful foll'wer 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 for him now
Shall reign with him in bliss.
But should we in the evil day,
From our profession fly,
Jesus, the judge, before the world
The traitors will deny.
