Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #319 (1890) First Line: In the hour of trial 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 forbidden 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.
4 When my last hour cometh,
Fraught with strife and pain,
When my dust returneth
To the dust again;
On thy truth relying
Through that mortal strife,
Jesus, take me, dying,
To eternal life.
