By cool Siloam's shady rill

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.

May they, O Lord, together prove the lasting joy of such a love. 3 How slow to take offence love is! How quick to heal! How ready in distress to know how others feel! May they, O Lord, together prove the lasting joys of such a love. 4 And when time lays its hand on all we hold most dear, and life, by life consumed, fulfills its purpose here: may we, O Lord, together prove the lasting joy of Christian love.
