8.8.8.8 Tunes

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?

2.

Ashamed of Jesus! Sooner far

Let evening blush to own a star

He shed the beams of light divine

O’er this benighted soul of mine

3.

Ashamed of Jesus just as soon

Let midnight be ashamed of noon

’Twas midnight with my soul till He

Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee

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

5.

Ashamed of Jesus yes I may

When I’ve no guilt to wash away

No tear to wipe, no good to crave

No fears to quell, no soul to save

6.

Till then-nor is my boasting vain

Till then I boast a Saviour slain

And Oh may this my glory be

That Christ is not ashamed of me

Amen
