O Thou whose feet have climbed life's hill

Author: L. F. Benson Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #634 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose feet have climbed life's hill, And trod the path of youth, Our Saviour and our Brother still, Now lead us into truth. 2 The call is Thine; be Thou the Way, And give us men, to guide; Let wisdom broaden with the day, Let human faith abide. 3 Who learn of Thee the truth shall find, Who follow, gain the goal; With reverence crown the earnest mind, And speak within the soul. 4 Awake the purpose high which strives, And, falling, stands again; Confirm the will of eager lives To quit themselves like men: 5 Thy life the bond of fellowship, Thy love the law that rules, Thy Name, proclaimed by every lip, The Master of our schools.

O Lord, the Holy Innocents

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #607 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life; Youth and School Life Lyrics: 1 O Lord, the Holy Innocents Laid down for Thee their infant life, And martyrs brave and patient saints Have stood for Thee in fire and strife. 2 We wear the cross they wore of old, Our lips have learned like vows to make; We need not die; we cannot fight; What may we do for Jesus' sake? 3 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. 4 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; 5 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. 6 With smiles of peace and looks of love, Light in our dwellings we may make, Bid kind good-humor brighten there, And do all still for Jesus' sake. 7 There's not a child so weak and small But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise, That he may do for Jesus' sake.

Dear Jesus, ever at my side

Author: F. W. Faber Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #626 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Lyrics: 1 Dear Jesus, ever at my side, How loving Thou must be, To leave Thy home in heaven to guard A little child like me. 2 I cannot feel Thee touch my hand, With pressure light and mild, To check me as my mother did, When I was but a child: 3 But I have felt Thee in my thoughts, Rebuking sin for me; And when my heart loves God, I know The sweetness is from Thee. 4 And when, dear Saviour, I kneel down, Morning and night in prayer, Something there is within my heart Which tells me Thou art there. 5 Yes, when I pray, Thou prayest too: Thy prayer is all for me; But when I sleep, Thou sleepest not, But watchest patiently.

By cool Siloam's shady rill

Author: R. Heber Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #627 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam's shady rill, How fair 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 man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's pow'r, And stormy passion's age. 5 O Thou, whose infant feet were found Within Thy Father's shrine, Whose years with changeless virtues crowned, Were all alike divine: 6 Dependent on Thy bounteous breath, We seek Thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood, age, and death, To keep us still Thine own.
