Author: Bp. R. Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #588 (1917) 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 O Thou, whose infant feet were found
Within Thy Father's shrine,
Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned,
Were all alike divine;
4 Dependent on Thy bounteous breath,
We seek Thy grace alone,
In childhood, manhood, age, and death,
To keep us still Thine own. Topics: Early Piety; Early Piety; Adoration Of God; Children Consecrated to Christ; Children Religion of; God Adoration of; For the Young; Religion Children's Languages: English Tune Title: SILOAM
