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.
 
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
