Lyrics
-
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 in burning flame
To recompense the just,
The world will know the only name
In which the Saints can trust.
-
3. When he comes down from heav’n to earth
With all his holy band,
Before creation’s second birth,
We hope with him to stand.
-
4. He then will give us a new name,
With robes of righteousness,
And, in the New Jerusalem,
Eternal happiness.
