I'm not ashamed to own my Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 675 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 Lyrics:
I’m not ashamed to own my Lord,
or to defend his cause,
Maintain the glory of his cross,
and honour all his laws.
145
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 pow’r,
What I’ve committed to his trust,
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.
I'm not ashamed to own my Lord

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,204 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above;
praise his name--I’m fixed upon it--
name of God's redeeming love.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
hither by thy help I’ve come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
bought me with his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee:
prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here’s my heart, O, take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.

'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest (1814-1877) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross, with willing heart,
and humbly follow after me.'

fill your weak soul with vain alarm:
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
the Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home,
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Lent; Discipleship Used With Tune: BRESLAU

Author: Ellen H. Willis Appears in 106 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 First Line: I left it all with Jesus long ago Lyrics: 1 I left it all with Jesus long ago,
All my sins I brought him and my woe;
When by faith I saw him on the tree,
Heard his small, still whisper, "'Tis for thee,"
From my heart the burden rolled away!
Happy day.
2 I leave it all with Jesus, for he knows
How to steal the bitter from life's woes;
How to gild the tear-drop with his smile,
Make the desert garden bloom awhile:
When my weakness leaneth on his might,
All seems light.
3 I leave it all with Jesus day by day;
Faith can firmly trust him, come what may.
Hope has dropped her anchor, found her rest,
In the calm sure haven of his breast;
Love esteems it heaven to abide
At his side. Topics: Christians Privileges; Comfort; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Covenant Divine Used With Tune: SECURITY

On Jesus Christ, my God and Lord;
And this my faith confessing
Unmoved I stand upon His Word.
Man's reason cannot fathom
The truth of God profound;
Who trusts her subtle wisdom
Relies on shifting ground.
God's Word is all-sufficient,
It makes divinely sure,
And trusting in its wisdom,
My faith shall rest secure.
2 Increase my faith, dear Savior,
For Satan seeks by night and day
To rob me of this treasure
And take my hope of bliss away.
But, Lord, with Thee beside me,
I shall be undismayed;
And led by Thy good Spirit,
I shall be unafraid.
Abide with me, O Savior,
A firmer faith bestow.
Then I shall bid defiance
To ev'ry evil foe.
3 In faith, Lord, let me serve Thee;
Though persecution, grief, and pain
Should seek to overwhelm me,
Let me a steadfast trust retain;
And then at my departure
Take Thou me home to Thee,
And let me there inherit
All Thou hast promised me.
In life and death, Lord, keep me
Until Thy heav'n I gain,
Where I by Thy great mercy
The end of faith attain.
Amen.

For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary. (Chorus)

A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me. (Chorus)

Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share. (Chorus)

my only trust and Saviour of my heart,
who pain didst undergo for my poor sake;
I pray thee from our hearts all cares to take.
2 Thou art the King of mercy and of grace,
reigning omnipotent in every place:
so come, O King, and our whole being sway;
shine on us with the light of thy pure day.
3 Thou art the life, by which alone we live,
and all our substance and our strength receive;
sustain us by thy faith and by thy power,
and give us strength in every trying hour.
4 Thou hast the true and perfect gentleness;
no harshness hast thou and no bitterness:
oh grant to us the grace we find in thee,
that we may dwell in perfect unity.
5 Our hope is in no other save in thee;
our faith is built upon thy promise free.
Lord, give us peace, and make us calm and sure,
that in thy strength we evermore endure. Topics: Gentleness; Hope; Jesus Christ Way, Truth, Life; Jesus Christ Redeemer and Savior; Jesus Christ Kingship / Reign; One Life in Christ Faith; Patience / Perseverance; Unity Used With Tune: TOULON

I Cannot Tell
Author: William Y. Fullerton Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 First Line: I cannot tell why he whom angels worship Lyrics: 1 I cannot tell why he whom angels worship
should come in flesh as prophets long foretold,
or why the Shepherd longs to save the wanderers
and bring them back rejoicing to the fold.
But this I know, that he was born of Mary
when Bethlehem's manger was his only home,
and that he lived at Nazareth and labored,
and so the promised Savior of the world is come.
2 I cannot tell how silently he suffered
as with his peace he graced this place of tears,
or how his heart upon the cross was broken,
the crown of pain to three and thirty years.
But this I know, he heals the broken-hearted,
and stays our sin, and calms our lurking fear,
and lifts the burden from the heavy laden,
for still the suffering Savior of the world is here.
3 I cannot tell how he will win the nations,
how he will claim his earthly heritage,
how satisfy the needs and aspirations
of east and west, of sinner and of sage.
But this I know, all flesh shall see his glory,
and he shall reap the harvest he has sown,
and some glad day his sun shall shine in splendor,
when he, the risen Savior of the world, is known.
4 I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship
when at his bidding,every storm is stilled,
or who can say how great the jubilation
when all our hearts with love for him are filled.
But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,
and countless voices then will join to sing,
and earth to heaven, and heaven to earth will answer:
"At last the living Savior of the world is King!"

Eternally the same:

And perfectly perform
The work thou hast begun
In me a sinful worm;
Midst all my fears, and sin and woe,
Thy Spirit will not let me go.

At first did freely move:
I still shall see thy face,
And feel that God is love!

Mark How the Lamb of God's Self-Offering
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:1-14 Lyrics: 1 Mark how the Lamb of God's self-offering
our human sinfulness takes on
in the birth-waters of the Jordan
as Jesus is baptized by John.
Hear how the voice from heaven thunders,
"Lo, this is my beloved Son."
See how in dovelike form the Spirit
descends on God's Anointed One.
2 From this assurance of God's favour
Jesus goes to the wilderness,
there to endure a time of testing
preparing him to teach and bless.
So we, by water and the Spirit
baptized into Christ's ministry,
are often led to paths of service
through mazes of adversity.
3 Grant us, O God, the strength and courage
to live the faith our lips declare;
bless us in our baptismal calling;
Christ's royal priesthood help us share.
Turn us from every false allegiance,
that we may trust in Christ alone:
raise up in us a chosen people
transformed by love to be your own. Topics: Baptism of Jesus Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU
