Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #312 (1977) First Line: In the hour of trail Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial,
Jesus, plead for me,
Lest, by base denial,
I depart from Thee;
When Thou seest me waver,
With a look recall;
Nor, thro' fear nor favor
Suffer me to fall.
2 With forbidden pleasures
Would this vain world charm,
And 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, or 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. Topics: Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: PENITENCE
