251. I'm Not Ashamed to Own My Lord

1 I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,
Nor to defend His cause;
Maintain the honors of His word,
The glory of His cross.

2 Firm as His throne His promise stands,
And He can well secure
What I've committed to His hands,
Till the decisive hour.

3 Then will He own my worthless name
Before His Father's face,
And in the new Jerusalem
Appoint for me a place.
