May This My Glory Be
(or Jesus, and Shall it Ever Be)
}
Jesus, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of Thee,
Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days.
Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far
Let evening blush to own a star;
He sheds the beams of light divine
O'er this benighted soul of mine.
Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may,
When I've no guilt to wash away:
No tears to wipe, no good to crave,
No tears to quell, no soul to save.
Till then, nor is my boasting vain,
Till then I boast a Savior slain;
And O, may this my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me.
Chorus And O, may this my glory be,
My glory be, my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me,
Is not ashamed of me.
