Hymn 257 – IN the hour of trial | C&S English Hymnary

1. IN the hour of trial Jesus pray 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 its Witching 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. lf with sore affliction Thou in love chastise Pour Thy benediction On the sacrifice Then, upon Thine Altar Freely offer‘d up Though the flesh may falter, Faith shall drink the cup. 4. When in dust and ashes, To the grave l sink, While heaven‘s glory flashes, O’er the shelving brink On Thy truth relying Through that mortal strife Lord, receive me dying To eternal life AMEN
