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.
To bear His name--His cross to bear--
Our highest honor this!
Who nobly suffers for Him now,
Shall reign with Him in bliss.
