Jesus! and Shall It Ever Be
Joseph Grigg; stanzas 5 and 6 (TLH 346)
Ashamed of Jesus? Yes I may
When I've no guilt to wash away,
No tear to wipe, no good to crave,
No fear to quell, no soul to save.
Till then--nor is my boasting vain--
Till then I boast a Savior slain;
and oh, may this my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me!

Thanks for posting a bit of Joseph Grigg's beautiful (and convicting!) hymn. Did you know he wrote it when he was only 10 years old? You can learn more about him and many other hymn writers on my daily blog, Wordwise Hymns.
And if you’ll excuse a brief “commercial:” If you do not have a good book on the subject of our Christmas carols, I encourage you to take a look at my own, Discovering the Songs of Christmas. In it, I discuss the history and meaning of 63 carols and Christmas hymns. The book is available through Amazon, or directly from Jebaire Publishing. (Might make a great gift too!)
