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. 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.
