In the hour of trial

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.

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.

When the last hour cometh

Fraught with strife and pain

When Thou

Lord

returneth

To the earth again;

On Thy truth relying

As that hour draws near

Jesus

take me

waiting

To Thy presence dear.
