In the Hour of Trial
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 483 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:18 Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial,
Jesus, plead for me
lest by base denial
I unworthy be.
When you see me waver,
with a look recall,
nor for fear or favor
ever let me fall.
2 With forbidden pleasures
should this vain world charm
or its tempting treasures
spread to work me harm,
bring to my remembrance
sad Gethsemane
or, in darker semblance,
cross-crowned Calvary.
3 Should your mercy send me
sorrow, toil, and woe,
or should pain attend me
on my path below,
grant that I may never
fail your cross to view;
grant that I may ever
cast my care on you.
4 When my life is ending,
though in grief or pain,
when my body changes
back to dust again,
on your truth relying,
through that mortal strife,
Jesus, take me, dying,
to eternal life. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: ST. MARY MAGDALENE
In the Hour of Trial
Plunged in a gulf of dark despair
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 478 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:14 Lyrics: 1 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair,
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope
Or spark of glimmering day.
2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Grace
Behold our helpless grief;
He saw, and--oh, amazing love!--
He ran to our relief.
3 Down from the shining seats above,
With joyful haste he fled,
Entered the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4 Oh, for this love, let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak.
5 Angels, assist our mighty joys,
Strike all your harps of gold;
But when you raise your highest notes,
His love can ne'er be told.

And gird the gospel armor on;

And sung the triumph when he rose.

Press forward to the heavenly gate;
There peace and joy eternal reign,
And glittering robes for conquerors wait.

And triumph in almighty grace,
While all the armies of the skies
Join in my glorious Leader's praise. Topics: Christ Captain of Salvation; Christians Encouragements; Courage Used With Tune: WIMBORNE

Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Frank Mason North, 1850-1935 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 368 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:17-18 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife
we hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from human grief and burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to see
the sweet compassion of your face.
5 O Master, from the mountain side
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
and tread the city's streets again:
6 till all the world shall learn your love
and follow where your feet have trod,
till glorious from your heaven above
shall come the city of our God. Topics: City; Compassion; Consolation; Healing; Jesus Christ Humanity; Maundy Thursday; Ministry of God's People; Repentance; Saints Days and Holy Days St Matthew; Social Justice; Witness to Community Used With Tune: FULDA
