Hymn 525
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 Work 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 The 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,
While Heaven’s Glory Flashes
Over The Shelving Brink,
On Thy Truth Relying,
Through That Mortal Strife,
Lord, Receive Me, Dying,
To Eternal Life.
