Jesus! And Shall It Ever Be
"Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me, him also shall the Son of man be ashamed." - Mark 8:38
VERSE 1
Jesus! And shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of Thee,
Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days?
VERSE 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.
VERSE 3
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.
VERSE 4
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.
VERSE 5
Ashamed of Jesus! Yes I may
When I've no guilt to wash away,
No tear to wipe, no good to crave,
No fear to quell, no soul to save,
VERSE 6
Till then-nor is my boasting vain
Till then I boast a Saviour slain,
And O may this my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me!
