By cool Siloam's shady rill
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Hymnal #351 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
By cool Siloam's shady rill
How fair the lily grows!
How sweet the breath, beneath the hill,
Of Sharon's dewy rose!
Lo! such the child whose early feet
The paths of peace have trod,
Whose secret heart, with influence sweet,
Is upward drawn to God.
By cool Siloam's shady rill
The lily must decay;
The rose that blooms beneath the hill
Must shortly fade away.
And soon, too soon, the wintry hour
Of man's maturer age
Will shake the soul with sorrow's power,
And stormy passion's rage.
O thou whose infant feet were found
Within thy Father's shrine,
Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned,
Were all alike divine,
Dependent on thy bounteous breath,
We seek thy grace alone,
In childhood, manhood, age, and death,
To keep us still thine own.
Amen.

Above the clear blue sky

Above the clear blue sky,
In heaven's bright abode,
The angel host on high
Sing praises to their God:
Alleluia!
They love to sing
To God their King
Alleluia!
But God from children's tongues
On earth receiveth praise;
We then our cheerful songs
In sweet accord will raise:
Alleluia!
We too will sing
To God our King
Alleluia!
O blessèd Lord, thy truth
To all thy flock impart,
And teach us in our youth
To know thee as thou art.
Alleluia!
Then shall we sing
To God our King
Alleluia!
322
O may thy holy word
Spread all the world around,
And all with one accord
Uplift the joyful sound:
Alleluia!
All then shall sing
To God their King
Alleluia!
Amen.

Above the clear blue sky
Saviour, teach me, day by day
Author: Jane E. Leeson Hymnal: The Hymnal #354 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Savior, teach me, day by day,
Love's sweet lesson to obey;
Sweeter lesson cannot be,
Loving him who first loved me.
With a childlike heart of love,
At thy bidding may I move;
Prompt to serve and follow thee,
Loving him who first loved me.
Teach me all thy steps to trace,
Strong to follow in thy grace;
Learning how to love from thee;
Loving him who first loved me
Love in loving finds employ,
In obedience all her joy;
Ever new that joy will be,
Loving him who first loved me.
Thus may I rejoice to show
That I feel the love I owe;
Singing, till thy face I see,
Of his love who first loved me.
Amen.

Fairest Lord Jesus

Fairest Lord Jesus,
Ruler of all nature,
O thou of God and man the Son;
Thee will I cherish, thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown.

And all the twinkling, starry host:
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer,
Than all the angels heaven can boast.

All things bright and beautiful
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: The Hymnal #358 (1916) Meter: 6.7.6.7 D with refrain Topics: Sunday Schools General Use First Line: Each little flower that opens Lyrics:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning
That brightens up the sky,
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
We gather every day,
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

Son of God most high,
Pitying, loving Savior,
Hear thy children's cry.
Pardon our offenses,
Loose our captive chains,
Break down every idol
Which our soul detains.
Give us holy freedom
Fill our hearts with love;
Draw us, holy Jesus,
To the realms above.
Lead us on our journey,
Be thyself the way
Through terrestrial darkness
To celestial day.

Jesus, meek and gentle
When Jesus left His Father's throne
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal #362 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
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 wisdom's path of peace;
Like him in grace and knowledge grow,
As years and strength increase.
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.
When Jesus into Salem rode,
The children sang around;
For joy they plucked the palms and strowed
Their garments on the ground.
Hosanna our glad voices raise,
Hosanna to our King!
Should we forget our Savior's praise,
The stones themselves would sing.

There's a Friend for little children
Author: Albert Midlane Hymnal: The Hymnal #363a (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
There's a Friend for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A Friend who never changes,
Whose love will never die;
Our earthly friends may fail us,
And change with changing years,
This Friend is always worthy
Of that dear Name he bears.
There's a rest for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Who love the blessed Savior,
And to the Father cry;
A rest from every turmoil,
From sin and sorrow free,
Where every little pilgrim
Shall rest eternally.
There's a home for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Where Jesus reigns in glory,
A home of peace and joy;
No home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare;
For every one is happy
Nor could be happier there.
There's a song for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A song that will not weary,
Though sung continually;
A song which even angels
Can never, never sing;
They know not Christ as Savior,
But worship him as King.
330
There's a crown for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
And all who look for Jesus
Shall wear it by and by;
All, all above is treasured,
And found in Christ alone:
Lord, grant thy little children
To know thee as their own.
Amen.

Father in heaven, Who lovest all
Author: Rudyard Kipling Hymnal: The Hymnal #367 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Father in heaven, who lovest all,
O help thy children when they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undefilèd heritage.
Teach us to bear the yoke in youth,
With steadfastness and careful truth;
That, in our time, thy grace may give
The truth whereby the nations live.
Teach us to rule ourselves alway,
Controlled and cleanly night and day;
That we may bring, if need arise,
No maimed or worthless sacrifice.
334
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.
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.
Teach us delight in simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men 'neath the sun.
Amen.
(Land of our birth, our faith, our pride,
For whose dear sake our fathers died;
O Motherland, we pledge to thee
Head, heart, and hand through the years to be.)

Father in heaven, Who lovest all
Jesus, from Thy throne on high
Author: Thomas B. Pollock Hymnal: The Hymnal #368 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.6 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Jesus, from thy throne on high,
Far above the bright blue sky,
Look on us with loving eye:
Little children need not fear,
When they know that thou art near:
Thou dost love us, Savior dear:
Little hearts may love thee well,
Little lips thy love may tell,
Little hymns thy praises swell:
335
Little lives may be divine,
Little deeds of love may shine,
Little ones be wholly thine:
Jesus, once an infant small,
Cradled in the oxen's stall,
Though the God and Lord of all:
Once a child so good and fair,
Feeling want, and toil, and care,
All that we may have to bear:
Jesus, thou dost love us still,
And it is thy holy will
That we should be safe from ill:
Be thou with us every day,
In our work and in our play,
When we learn and when we pray:
When we lie asleep at night,
Ever may thy angels bright
Keep us safe till morning light:
Make us brave without a fear,
Make us happy, full of cheer,
Sure that thou art always near:
May we prize our Christian name,
May we guard it free from blame,
Fearing all that causes shame:
336
May we grow from day to day,
Glad to learn each holy way,
Ever ready to obey:
May we ever try to be
From all sinful tempers free,
Pure and gentle, Lord, like thee:
May our thoughts be undefiled,
May our words be true and mild,
Make us each a holy child:
Jesus, Son of God most high,
Who didst in a manger lie,
Who upon the cross didst die:
Jesus, from thy heavenly throne,
Watching o'er each little one,
Till our life on earth is done:
Jesus, whom we hope to see
Calling us in heaven to be
Happy evermore with thee:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
Amen.

Far from my Father's breast,
Fainting I cry, blest Spirit, come,
And speed me to my rest.
My spirit homeward turns,
And fain would thither flee;
My heart, O Sion, droops and yearns,
When I remember thee.
To thee, to thee I press,
A dark and toilsome road;
When shall I pass the wilderness,
And reach the saints' abode?
God of my life, be near:
On thee my hopes I cast:
O guide me through the desert here,
And bring me home at last!

And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.

For all thy love imparts,
But that which thou desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts.

When temptations come alluring,

Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
