Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Life Stages Death First Line: How long will you forget me, Lord Lyrics: 1 How long will you forget me, Lord,
and hide your face away?

and troubles fill my day?

or they will claim the victory
who long to see me fall.

O Praise the LORD, for It Is Good
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Life Stages Generations Lyrics: 1 O praise the LORD, for it is good
to sing unto our God;
'tis right and pleasant for God's saints
to tell his praise abroad.
The LORD our God builds up the church,
finds those who draw apart;
God binds their wounds and gently leads;
he heals the broken heart.
2 Our Lord is great: he calls by name
and counts the stars of night;
God's wisdom is unsearchable,
and wondrous is his might.
The LORD upholds the poor and meek
but brings the wicked low;
sing praise to God who sends the rain,
whose care the cattle know.
3 No human might, no earthly pride
delights the LORD above;
in those who fear him God delights,
in those who trust his love.
O Zion, praise the LORD your God,
his wondrous love confess;
God is your glory and your strength,
he will your children bless. Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: MINERVA Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

and your salvation true.

the same compassion show.

within your Father's shrine;
your years, with changeless virtue crowned,
were all alike divine.

we seek your grace alone,
in every stage of life and death,
to keep us still your own. Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:27-28 Used With Tune: BELMONT

How happy are all they who hear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: Stages of Life Lyrics: 1 How happy are all they who hear
true Wisdom's guiding voice;
and who her understanding make
their early, only choice.
2 For she has treasures greater far
than east or west unfold;
and her rewards more precious are
than all their stores of gold.
3 In her right hand she holds to view
a length of happy days;
and riches with great honours joined
are what her left displays.
4 She guides the young with innocence,
in pleasure's paths to tread;
a crown of glory she bestows
upon the hoary head.
5 According as her labours rise,
so her rewards increase;
her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace. Scripture: Proverbs 3:13-17 Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN (NEWINGTON) Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781, Paraphrase 11, alt.

By cool Siloam's shady rill
Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 607 hymnals Topics: Stages of Life 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. Scripture: Isaiah 40:6-8 Used With Tune: BELMONT
By cool Siloam's shady rill
