Watching for souls. An ordination hymn
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Ordination First Line: Let Sion's watchman all awake Lyrics: 1 Let Sion's watchmen all awake,
And take th' alarm they give;
Now let them, from the mouth of God
Their awful charge receive.
2 'Tis not a cause of small import
The pastor's care demands;
But what might fill and angel's heart,
And fill'd a Savior's hands.
3 They watch for souls, for which the Lord
Did heavenly bliss forego;
For souls, which must forever live,
In raptures, or in woe.
4 All to the great tribunal haste,
Th' account to render there;
And should'st thou strictly mark our faults,
Lord, how should we appear!
5 May they, that Jesus whom they preach,
Their own Redeemer see,
And watch thou daily o'er their souls,
That they may watch for thee.

A Christian Child
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #493 (1890) Topics: Church Ordinances of; Church Ordinances of First Line: By cool Siloam's shady rill 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
May shake the soul with sorrow's power
And stormy passion's rage.
5 O thou, whose infant feet were found
Within thy Father's shrine,
Whose years, with changeless virtue 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. Languages: English Tune Title: SILOAM

On the youthful heart to move!

May descend, as fruitful rain;
Till the wilderness, reviving,
Blossoms as the rose again! Languages: English Tune Title: BAVARIA

Let them find a resting-place,
Feed in pastures ever vernal,
Drink the rivers of thy grace. Languages: English

From thy wounded side that flowed,
Be of sin the perfect cure;
Save me, Lord! and make me pure.

Should my zeal no languor know,
This for sin could not atone,
Thou must save and thou alone:
In my hand no price I bring;
Simply to thy cross I cling.
3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eye-lids close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold thee on thy throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me!
Let me hide myself in thee.
