HYMN 14. C. M.

We’re Not Ashamed to Own Our Lord

William W. Phelps 1792–1872


1

We’re not ashamed to own our Lord,
And worship him on earth;
We love to learn his holy word,
And know what souls are worth.

2

When Jesus comes as flaming flame,
For to reward the just,
The world will know the only name,
In which the Saints can trust.

3

When he comes down in heav’n on earth,
With all his holy band,
Before creation’s second birth,
We hope with him to stand.

4

Then will he give us a new name,
With robes of righteousness,
And in the New Jerusalem,
Eternal happiness.
