In The Hour Of Trial, Jesus, Pray For Me.

 

 

 

 

1.      In the hour of trial,

Jesus, pray for me,

Lest by base denial,

I depart from Thee;

When thou seest me waver,

With a look recall

Nor for fear or favour

Suffer me to fall.

 

 

 

 

2.      With its witching pleasures

Would this vain world charm,

Or its sordid treasures

Spread to word me harm,

Bring to my remembrance

Said Gethsemane,

Or in darker semblance,

Cross- crowned Calvary.

 

 

 

 

 

3.      If with sore affliction

Thou in love chastise,

Pour Thy benediction

On sacrifice,

Then, upon Thine Altar,

Freely offered up,

Though the flesh may falter,

Faith shall drink the cup.

 

 

 

 

 

4.      When in dust and ashes,

To the grave I sink,
