Author: Needhad Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCLXXX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Asham'd of Christ! my soul, disdain Lyrics: 1 Asham'd of Christ! my soul, disdain The mean ungenerous thought: Shall I disown that friend, whose blood To man salvation brought? 2 With the glad news of love and peace From heav'n to earth he came: For us endur'd the painful cross, For us despis'd the shame. 3 At his command, we must take up Our cross without delay: Our lives— and thousands lives like ours, His love can ne'er repay. 4 Each faithful sufferer Jesus views With infinite delight: Their lives to him are dear, their Deaths Are precious in his sight. 5 To bear his name, his cross to bear! Our highest honor this! Who nobly suffers now for him, Shall reign with him in bliss. 6 But should we in the evil day, From our possession fly, Jesus the judge, before the world, The traitor will deny.
