LyicsJesus, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man asham'd of thee!
Asham'd of thee whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days!
Asham'd of Jesus! Sooner far
Let ev'ning blush to own a star!
He sheds the beams of light divine
O'er this benighted soul of mine.
Asham'd of Jesus! Just as soon
Let morning be asham'd of noon:
'Tis midnight with my soul till he,
Bright Morning Star, bids darkness flee.
Asham'd of Jesus! that dear friend
On whom my hopes of heaven depend!
No! When I blush be this my shame,
That I no more rever his name.
Asham'd of Jesus! Yes, I may
When I've no guilt to wash away,
No tears to wipe, no good to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save.
'Till then-nor is my boasting vain-
Till then I'll boast a Saviour slain!
And O! may this my glory be,
That Christ is not asham'd of me!
