In the hour of trial

Author: James Montgomery, 1771 - 1854 Appears in 489 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me, Lest by base denial I depart from thee; When thou seest me waver, With a look recall, Nor from fear or favor Suffer me to fall. 2 With forbidden pleasures Should this vain world charm, Or its sordid treasures Spread to work me harm, Bring to my remembrance Sad Gethsemane, Or, in darker semblance, Cross-crowned Calvary. A-men. 3 Should thy mercy send me Sorrow, toil and woe, Or should pain attend me On my path below, Grant that I may never Fail thy hand to see; Grant that I may ever Cast my care on thee. Amen.

Jerusalem, my happy home

Appears in 621 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? 2 O happy harbor of the saints, O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil. 3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green; There grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. 4 Quite through the streets with silver sound The flood of life doth flow, Upon whose banks on every side The wood of life doth grow. 5 There trees for evermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring; There evermore the angels sit, And evermore do sing. 6 Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee! Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see!

Jerusalem the golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny, XII cent.; John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66 Appears in 911 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed; I know not, O I know not What joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Sion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng; The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. A-men. 3 There is the throne of David, And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they, who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blesséd country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blesséd country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

Author: Benjamin Francis, c. 1734 - 99; Joseph Grigg, c. 1720 - 68 Appears in 1,275 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of thee? Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? 2 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! 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. 4 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. 5 Till then, nor is my boasting vain, Till then I boast a Saviour slain; And O may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me.

Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, God dispels our fear; Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us: Jesus will not fail us. 3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within; Yea, whate'er we here must bear, Still is thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure!

A-men. 2 Do we pass that Cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Though we see thee wounded, bleeding, See thy thorn-encircled brow? Yet thy sinless death hath brought us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what thy grace hath taught us Calms the sinner's stormy breast. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning With more fervent love for thee; May our eyes be ever turning To thy Cross of agony; Till in glory, parted never From the blessèd Saviour's side, Graven in our hearts forever, Dwell the Cross, the Crucified.
