Hymn 542
I'm not ashamed to own my Lord
- I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,
Or to defend His cause;
Maintain the honour of His word.
The glory of His cross.
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.
- Jesus, my Lord! I know His
name - His name is all my trust.
Nor will He put my soul to shame.
Nor let my hope be lost.
- Firm as His throne. His promise stands.
And He can well secure
What I've committed to His hands,
Till the decisive hour.
- Then will He own my worthless name
Before His Father's face;
And in the new Jerusalem,
Appoint my soul a place.
