  1. By cool Siloam's shady rill
    How sweet 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. O thou, whose infant feet were found
    Within thy Father's shrine,
    Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned,
    Were all alike divine,

  5. Dependent on thy bounteous breath
    We seek thy grace alone,
    Through every stage of life, and death,
    To keep us still thine own. Amen.
