I'm not ashamed to own my Lord

1

I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,Nor to defend his cause,Maintain the honor of his word,The glory of his cross.

2

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.

3

Firm as his throne his promise stands,And he can well secureWhat I've committed to his handsTill the decisive hour.

4

Then will he own my worthless nameBefore his Father's face,And in the New JerusalemReserve for me a place.
