Text:We’re not ashamed to own our Lord

14. We’re not ashamed to own our Lord

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.
