I'm not ashamed to own my Lord
by Isaac Watts·1707·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)
Based on 2 Tim 1:12.; Rom 1:16; 2 Tim 1:12
1
I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,
Or to defend his cause;
Maintain the honor of his word,
The glory of his cross.
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.
