Sheet music
- 1Shall I be ashamed of my Savior and King,Who left His bright glory, salvation to bring?Who was cruelly crucified, wounded, and maimed–Of such a great Savior shall I be ashamed?No, no! I'll not be ashamed;No, no! I'll not be ashamed.
- 2Shall I be ashamed of His wonderful Word?Or blush when the praises of Jesus are heard?Shall the laugh of the skeptic my lips tightly seal,Lest I my profession of Christ should reveal?No, no! I'll not be ashamed;No, no! I'll not be ashamed.
- 3I’ll not be ashamed of my dear loving Lord?Ashamed of His people, His cause, or His Word;I’ll be faithful in Jesus, His banner I'll bear,The joy of His kingdom forever to share.No, no! I'll not be ashamed;No, no! I'll not be ashamed.
