Jesus, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of Thee,
Ashamed of Thee, whose Angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days?
Ashamed of Jesus! – sooner far
Let evening blush to own a star;
He shed 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, bid darkness flee.
Ashamed of Jesus! shall yon field
Blush, when it thinks who bids it yield?
Yet blush I must while I adore;
I blush to think I yield no more.
Ashamed of Jesus, that dear friend
On whom my hopes of Heaven depend!
No! when I blush, be this my shame,
That I no more revere His name.
Ashamed of Jesus! – yes I may,
When I’ve no guilt to wash away,
No tear to wipe, no good to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save.
Till then – nor is my boasting vain –
Till then I boast a Saviour slain;
And oh may this my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me!
---Alternative verses---
Jesus, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of Thee,
Ashamed of Thee, whom Angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days?
Ashamed of Jesus! – yes I may,
When I’ve no crime to wash away,
No tear to wipe, no good to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save.
