I'm not ashamed to name my Lord (I'm not ashamed to own my Lord)
[Modernised Version]1 I'm not ashamed to name 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;
he will not 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 he entrusted to my hands
until that final hour.
4 Then he'll make known my guilty name
before his Father's face,
and in the new Jerusalem
appoint to me a place.
Jubilate Hymns version of I'm not ashamed to own my Lord Isaac Watts (1674 - 1748)
