In the Hour of Trial

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 515 hymnals 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 favour suffer me to fall. 2 With forbidden pleasures should this vain world charm, or its tempting treasures spread to work me harm, bring to my remembrance sad 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 the 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 heav'n's glory flashes o'er the shelving brink, on thy truth relying through that mortal strife, Lord, receive me, dying, to eternal life.
