in the Hour of Trial

Author: James Mongtomery Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 489 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Trials and Temptations Lyrics: 1. In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me; Lest by base denial, I depart from thee. When Thou see'st me waver, With a look recall, Nor for fear or favor Suffer me to fall. 2. With forbiddedn pleasures Would 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. 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.
