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.

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.

Little drops of water

Author: J. A. Carney Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #645 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Younger Children Lyrics: 1 Little drops of water, Little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean, And the beauteous land. 2 And the little moments, Humble though they be, Make the mighty ages Of eternity. 3 Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Make our earth an Eden, Like the heaven above. 4 So our little errors Lead the soul away From the paths of virtue Into sin to stray. 5 Little seeds of mercy, Sown by youthful hands, Grow to bless the nations Far in heathen lands. 6 Little ones in glory Swell the angels' song: Make us meet, dear Saviour, For their holy throng.

A little kingdom I possess

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. Languages: English Tune Title: ALCOTT
