Text: | Jesus, and Shall It Ever Be |
Author: | Joseph Grigg |
Tune: | BLENDON |
Composer: | Felice de Giardini |
1 Jesus, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of Thee?
Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine thro' endless days?
2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far
Let evening blush to own a star;
He sheds the beams of light divine
O'er this benighted soul of mine.
3 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend
On whom my hopes of heav'n depend!
No; when I blush, be this my shame,
That I no more revere His Name.
4 Soon shall He come with pow'r to bless
All who do here His Name confess;
And then may this my glory be,
That He is not ashamed of me.
