Ashamed of Jesus?

Here's a hymn by Joseph Grigg that digs deep enough to challenge anyone's Christian life:

Jesus, and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of Thee? Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days?

Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine.

3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon; 'Tis midnight with my soul till He, Bright, Morning Star, bid darkness flee.

4 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere His name.

Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may, When I’ve no crimes to wash away; No tear to wipe, no joy to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save.

Till then (nor is my boasting vain), Till then I boast a Saviour slain: And, oh, may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me!
