By cool Siloam's shady rill

Author: Heber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 610 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:15 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 man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's power And stormy passion's rage. 5 O thou who givest life and breath, We seek thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood, age, and death, To keep us still thine own.
