Ilocano 49, Tagalog 49 PENITENCE 6.5.6.5.D. |
MEDITATION AND PRAYER |
In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me,
Lest by base denial I depart from Thee; When Thou see'st me waver, with a look recall, Nor, for fear or favor, suffer me to fall.
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.
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.
In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me, |
