In the Hour of Trial -ghf276.mid - [Play Midi]

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 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-crown'd 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, in dust and ashes, to the grave I sink,
   While heav'ns glory flashes o'er the shelving brink
   On Thy truth relying thru that mortal strife,
   Lord, receive me, dying, to eternal life.
