Text: | Early Piety |
Tune: | SILOAM |
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 Oh, thou who givest life and breath!
We seek thy grace alone,
In childhood, manhood, age, and death,
To keep us still thine own.
