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. Languages: English Tune Title: LOG COLLEGE
O Thou whose feet have climbed life's hill
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. Languages: English Tune Title: ALSTONE

Newer, brighter than before,
And the sun's declining ray
Layeth others up in store.
3 Not a bird that doth not sing
Sweetest praises to Thy Name;
Not an insect on the wing
But Thy wonder doth proclaim.
4 Far and near, o'er land and sea,
Mountain tops and wooded dell,
All in singing sing of Thee,
Songs of love ineffable.
5 Fill us then with love divine;
Grant that we, though toiling here,
May, in spirit being Thine,
See and hear Thee everywhere.
6 May we all with songs of praise,
Whilst on earth Thy Name adore,
Till with angel choirs we raise
Songs of praise for evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: REINECKE

Our love and toil in the years to be,
When we are grown and take our place
As men and women with our race.]

O help Thy children when they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undefiled heritage.

With steadfastness and careful truth;
That, in our time, Thy grace may give
The truth whereby the nations live.
3 Teach us to rule ourselves alway,
Controlled and cleanly night and day;
That we may bring, if need arise,
No maimed or worthless sacrifice.
4 Teach us to look in all our ends
On Thee for Judge and not our friends;
That we, with Thee, may walk uncowed
By fear or favour of the crowd.
5 Teach us the strength that cannot seek,
By deed or thought, to hurt the weak;
That, under Thee, we may possess
Man's strength to comfort man's distress.

And mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men 'neath the sun.

For whose dear sake our fathers died;

A little kingdom I possess
Author: L. M. Alcott Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #628 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Lyrics: 1 A little kingdom I posses,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard I find the task
Of governing it well:
For passion tempts and troubles me,
A wayward will misleads,
And selfishness its shadow casts
On all my words and deeds.
2 How can I learn to rule myself,
To be the child I should,
Honest and brave, nor ever tire
Of trying to be good?
How can I keep a sunny soul
To shine along life's way?
How can I tune my little heart
To sweetly sing all day?
3 Dear Father, help me with the love
That casteth out my fear;
Teach me to lean on Thee, and feel
That Thou art very near:
That no temptation is unseen,
No childish grief too small,
Since Thou, with patience infinite,
Dost soothe and comfort all.
4 I do not ask for any crown
But that which all may win:
Nor try to conquer any world
Except the one within.
Be Thou my guide until I find
Led by a tender hand,
Thy happy kingdom in myself,
And dare to take command.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Languages: English Tune Title: SAMUEL

Hosanna, they were singing
Once in royal David's city
Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #605 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall;
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And, thro' all His wondrous childhood,
He would honour and obey,
Love, and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms He lay;
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as He.
4 For He is our childhood's pattern;
Day by day like us He grew;
He was little, weak and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us he knew;
And He feeleth for our sadness,
And He shareth in our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above;
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
6 Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him; but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars His children crown'd,
All in white shall wait around. Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY
Once in royal David's city
I think when I read that sweet story of old
Author: J. Luke Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #606 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life 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 arm 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 ask for a share in His love;
And if I thus earnestly seek Him below,
I shall see Him and hear Him above.
4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiven;
And many dear children shall be with Him there,
For "of such is the kingdom of heaven."
5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall,
Never heard of that heavenly home;
I wish they could know there is room for them all,
And that Jesus has bid them to come. Languages: English Tune Title: SALAMIS

When Jesus left His Father's throne
Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #612 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Lyrics: 1 When Jesus left His Father's throne,
He chose an humble birth;
Like us, unhonoured and unknown,
He came to dwell on earth.
Like Him may we be found below,
In widsom's path of peace;
Like Him in grace and knowledge grow,
As years and strength increase.
2 Sweet were His words and kind His look,
When mothers round Him pressed;
Their infants in His arms He took,
And on His bosom blessed.
Safe from the world's alluring harms
Beneath His watchful eye,
Thus in the circle of His arms
May we for ever lie.
3 When Jesus into Salem rode,
The children sang around;

Their garments on the ground.

The stones themselves would sing. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. URSULA
