699--In the hour of trial,

In the hour of trial,

699

	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.	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.
	3.	When the last hour cometh,
		Fraught with stife 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.
