There Is an Hour

Verse 1

There is an hour when I must part From all I hold most dear; And life, with its best hopes, will then As nothingness appear.

Verse 2

There is an hour when I must sink Beneath the stroke of death; And yield to Him who gave it first, My struggling vital breath.

Verse 3

There is an hour when I must stand Before the judgment-seat; And all my sins, and all my foes, In awful vision meet.

Verse 4

There is an hour when I must look On one Eternity; And nameless woe, or blissful life, My endless portion be.

Verse 5

O Saviour, then in all my need Be near, be near to me! And let my soul, by steadfast faith, Find life and heaven in Thee.
