In the Hour of Trial

Author: Rev. James Montgomery Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 487 hymnals Topics: Deliverance from Death 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 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-crowned 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, When heaven's glory flashes O'er the shelving brink, On Thy truth relying, Through that mortal strife, Lord, receive me, dying, To eternal life. Used With Tune: PENITENCE

Author: Phoebe Cary Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 699 hymnals Topics: Deliverance from Death Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er: Nearer my home am I today Than e’er I’ve been before. 2 Nearer my Father’s house, Where many mansions be; Nearer my Savior's glorious throne, Nearer the crystal sea. 3 Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down; Nearer, to leave the heavy cross, Nearer, to gain the crown. 4 But, lying dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the deep and unknown stream Beyond which shines the light. 5 Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! And let me lean on Christ alone Upon the shore of death. Used With Tune: AMBROSE (DULCE DOMUM)
