lyrics
In the hour of trial Jesus plead for me
Lest my heart be blinded and I depart from thee
When thou seest me waver help me to recall
You're my constant helper you'll never let me fall
Should my heart be tempted to chase earth's empty charm
Or fill my life with idols that will only bring me harm
Bring to my remembrance love shown in agony
The maker of creation murdered on a tree
Help me to be faithful through the watches of the night
Your word is the oil that keeps my lantern bright
Light my path and guide my feet for I so often stray
Keep my weak heart faithful 'til night turns into day
Should thy mercy bring me sorrow toil and woe
Or should pain attend me on my path below
Grant that I may never fail thy hand to see
And in every trial draw my strength from thee
Help me to be faithful through the watches of the night
Your word is the oil that keeps my lantern bright
Light my path and guide my feet, for I so often stray
Keep my weak heart faithful 'til night turns into day
When my hour cometh fraught with strife and pain
When my dust returneth to the dust again
On thy truth relying through that mortal strife
Jesus take me dying, to eternal life
