In the day of tribulation, In the hour of sore temptation, With the strength of Thy salvation, Jesus, Saviour, comfort me! When no more the heart may borrow Hope and courage from the morrow,— In the darkest depths of sorrow, Jesus, Saviour, comfort me! When all aid is unavailing, Flesh and heart together failing, Sin and death the soul assailing,— Jesus, Saviour, comfort me! On Thy word alone relying,— Never Thy dear name denying,— Oh, forsake me not when dying! Jesus, Saviour, comfort me! Crowned, at last, in light supernal, Victor over foes infernal,— With Thy love, supreme, eternal, Jesus, Saviour, comfort me!
