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 1 at the cross I 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 !
2. Jesus, my God ! I know His nameâ 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 He will own my worthless name Before His Father's face ; And in the new Jerusalem Appoint my soul a place.
