一 耶穌,到底是否可能?竟然有人羞認祢名?
天使所頌榮耀光輝,竟會有人羞認祢名!
二 竟然有人羞認主名,無異黑夜羞認明星!
我心本來就是夜央,祢為晨星使黑變明。
三 竟然有人羞認主名,無異清晨羞認朝陽!
主是朝陽光華四射,照明我的如夜天良。
四 竟然有人羞認主名,我們上天希望所寄;
我心慚愧我臉含羞,因我不認祢名無比。
五 直到那日,我心所誇,仍是救主為我受死;
這是我的永遠榮耀,基督竟不以我為恥。
1. Jesus and shall it ever be?
A mortal man ashamed of Thee?
Ashamed of Thee, Whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine thro' endless days?
2. Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far
Let night disown each radiant star;
'Tis midnight with my soul, till He,
Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee.
3. Ashamed of Jesus! O as soon
Let morning blush to own the sun;
He sheds the beams of light divine,
O'er this benighted soul of mine.
4. Ashamed of Jesus! that dear friend
On whom my hopes of heav'n depend?
No, when I blush, be this my shame,
That I no more revere His Name.
5. Till then - nor is the boasting vain -
Till then, I boast a Saviour slain;
And, O may this my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me.
