I'm not ashamed to own my Lord

		
321
					C.M. Ref.

1	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 roll’d away;
		It was there by faith I received my sight,
		And now I am happy all the day!

2	Jesus, my God!  I know His name; 
	His name is all my trust; 
	Nor will He put my soul to shame, 
	Nor let my hope be lost. 

3	Firm as His throne His promise stands; 
	And He can well secure 
	What I've committed to His hands 
	Till the decisive hour. 

4	Then will He own my worthless name 
	Before His Father's face; 
	And, in the new Jerusalem,
	Appoint my soul a place.
