Hushed was the evening hymn

Author: J. D. Burns Appears in 236 hymnals Topics: Youth and School Life Younger 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 through 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 O 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 O 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 O give me Samuel's mind, A sweet unmurm'ring faith, Obedient and resigned To Thee in life and death, That I may read with child-like eyes Truths that are hidden from the wise. Used With Tune: SAMUEL

By cool Siloam's shady rill

Author: R. Heber Appears in 607 hymnals 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.
