Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 621 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want; He makes me down to lie In pastures green; He leadeth me The quiet waters by. 2 My soul He doth restore again And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, E'en for His own name's sake. 3 Yea, tho' I walk in death's dark vale, Yet will I fear no ill; For Thou art with me, and Thy rod And staff me comfort still. 4 My table Thou hast furnished In presence of my foes; My head Thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows. 5 Goodness and mercy, all my life, Shall surely follow me, And in God's house forevermore My dwelling place shall be.

By cool Siloam's shady rill

Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 614 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam's shady rill how sweet the lily grows! How sweet the breath beneath the hill of Sharon's dewy rose! 2 Lo! such the child whose early feet the paths of peace have trod, whose secret heart with influence sweet is upward drawn to God. 3 By cool Siloam's shady rill the lily must decay, the rose that blooms beneath the hill must shortly fade away; 4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour of life's maturer age will shake the soul with sorrow's power and stormy passion's rage. 5 O thou whose infant feet were found within thy Father's shrine, whose years, with changeless virtue crowned, were all alike divine. 6 Dependent on thy bounteous breath we seek thy grace alone, through every stage of life, and death, to keep us still thine own.

Author: Thomas H. Gill Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, mean may seem this house of clay-- Yet 'twas the Lord's abode; Our feet may mourn this thorny way, Yet here Emmanuel trod. 2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear, This watch the Lord did keep, These burdens sore the Lord did bear, These tears the Lord did weep. 3 This world the Master overcame, This death the Lord did die; O vanquished world! O glorious shame! O hallowed agony! 4 O vale of tears, no longer sad, Wherein the Lord did dwell! O holy robe of flesh, that clad Our own Immanuel! 5 Our very frailty brings us near Unto the Lord of heaven; To every grief, to every tear, Such glory strange is given. Amen.
