Hymn 670 – BY cool Siloam’s shady rill | C&S English Hymnary

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. Lot such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trod Whose secret heart with influence sweet ls 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. O Thou whose infant feet were found Within Thy Father's shrine Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned Were all alike divine. 5. Dependent on Thy bounteous breath We seek Thy grace alone In childhood, manhood, age, and death To keep us still Thine own AMEN
