Hushed was the evening hymn

Author: Rev. James D. Burns Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 238 hymnals Topics: For Children Lyrics: 1 Hushed was the evening hymn, The temple courts were dark, The lamp was burning dim, Before the sacred ark: When suddenly a voice divine Rang thro' the silence of the shrine. 2 The old man, meek and mild, The priest of Israel, slept; His watch the temple-child, The little Levite, kept; And what from Eli's sense was sealed, The Lord to Hannah's son revealed. 3 Oh, give me Samuel's ear. The open ear, O Lord, Alive and quick to hear Each whisper of Thy word! Like him to answer at Thy call, And to obey Thee first of all. 4 Oh, give me Samuel's heart. A lowly heart, that waits Where in Thy house Thou art, Or watches at Thy gates! By day and night, a heart that still Moves at the breathing of Thy will. 5 Oh, give me Samuel's mind. A sweet, unmurmuring faith, Obedient and resigned To Thee in life and death! That I may read with childlike eyes Truths that are hidden from the wise. Amen. Used With Tune: [Hushed was the evening hymn]

I think when I read that sweet story of old

Author: Jemima Luke Meter: Irregular Appears in 863 hymnals Topics: Children, Christ's Love for Lyrics: 1 I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He called little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head, That His arms had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." 3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And know that I share in His love; And if I now earnestly serve Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. 4 I long for the joy of that glorious time, The sweetest and brightest and best, When the dear little children of every clime All shall crowd to His arms and be blest. Amen. Used With Tune: EAST HORNDON

We are but little children weak

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: Hymns for Little Children Lyrics: 1 We are but little children weak, Nor born in any high estate; What can we do for Jesus' sake, Who is so high, and good, and great? 2 O, day by day each Christian child Has much to do, without, within; A death to die for Jesus' sake, A weary war to wage with sin. 3 When deep within our swelling hearts The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues, And tears of passion in our eyes; 4 Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our Lord. 5 There's not a child so small and weak But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise That he may do for Jesus' sake. Amen. Used With Tune: ALSTONE

Who has washed us in the tide Flowing from his pierced side; Praise we him, whose love divine Gives his sacred Blood for wine, Gives his Body for the feast, Christ the victim, Christ the priest. 2 Where the Paschal blood is poured, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, Paschal victim, Paschal bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty victim from the sky, Hell's fierce powers beneath you lie; You have conquered in the fight, You have brought us life and light: Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall; You have opened paradise, And in you your saints shall rise. 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy, This alone can sin destroy; From sin's power, Lord, set us free New-born souls in you to be. Father, who the crown shall give, Savior, by whose death we live, Spirit, guide through all our days, Three in One, your name we praise.
