Not ashamed of the Gospel. Rom. 1. 16; 2 Tim. 1. 12

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.

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.
