i‟m not ashamed to own my lord

I‟m not ashamed to own my Lord,

or to defend His cause;

maintain the glory of His cross

and honour all His laws.




Jesus, my Lord! I know His name,

His name is all my boast;

nor will He put my soul to shame,

nor let my hope be lost.




I know that safe with Him remains,

protected by His power,

what I‟ve committed to His hands

till the decisive hour.




Then will He own His servant‟s name

before His Father‟s face;

and, in the new Jerusalem,

appoint my soul a place.




(Chorus for Tune 2)

At the cross, at the cross, where I

first saw the light,

and the burden of my heart rolled away,

it was there by faith I received my sight,

and now I am happy all the day. ......
