By cool Siloam's shady rill

Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 610 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.

O Jesus, Saviour of the lost

Bickersteth Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Saviour of the lost, My Rock and Hiding place, By storms of sin and sorrow tossed, I seek Thy sheltering grace. 2 Guilty, forgive me, Lord, I cry, Pursued by foes I come; A sinner, save me, or I die; An outcast, take me home. 3 Once safe in Thine almighty arms, Let storms come on amain; There danger never, never harms; There death itself is gain. 4 And when I stand before Thy throne, And all Thy glory see, Still be my righteousness alone To hide myself in Thee.

Oh, mean may seem this house of clay

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.

My God, I love Thee, not because

Author: Francis Xavier; Edward Caswell Appears in 211 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee, not because I hope for heav'n thereby; Nor yet because who love Thee not Must burn eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace, 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony, Yea, death itself; and all for one That was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessed Savior, Christ, Should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heav'n, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward; But solely for Thy love to me, O ever-loving Lord? 6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing, Alone because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.
