“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!—Just as soon
Let midnight be ashamed of noon;
’Tis midnight with my soul, till He,
Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee.
“Ashamed of Jesus! that dear friend
On whom my hopes of Heaven depend!
