A Rose Plant in Jericho
Sing-Song: A Nursery Rhyme Book
Angels at the foot
Love me, - I love you
My baby has a father and a mother
Out little baby fell asleep
"Kookoorookoo! kookoorookoo!"
Baby cry
Eight o'clock
Bread and milk for breakfast
There's snow on the fields
Dead in the cold, a song-singing thrush
I dug and dug amongst the snow
A city plum is not a plum
Your brother has a falcon
Hear what the mournful linnets say
A baby's cradle with no baby in it
Hop-o'-my-thumb and little Jack Horner
Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth
O wind, why do you never rest
Crying, my little one, footsore and weary
Growing in the vale
A linnet in a gilded cage
Wrens and robins in the hedge
My baby has a mottled fist
Why did baby die
If all were rain and never sun
O wind, where have you been
On the grassy banks
Rushes in a watery place
Minnie and Mattie
Heartease in my garden bed
If I were a Queen
What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow
There is but one May in the year
The summer nights are short
The days are clear
Twist me a crown of wind-flowers
Brown and furry
A toadstoll comes up in a night
A pocket hankerchief to hem
If a pig wore a wig
Seldom "can't"
1 and 1 are 2
How many seconds in a minute
What will you give me for my pound
January cold desolate
What is pink? a rose is pink
Mother shake the cherry-tree
A pin has a head, but has no hair
Hopping frog, hop here and be seen
Where innocent bright-eyed daisies are
The city mouse lives in a house
What does the donkey bray about
Three plum buns
A motherless soft lambkin
Dancing on the hill-tops
When fishes set umbrellas up
The peacock has a score of eyes
Pussy has a whiskered face
The dog lies in his kennel
If hope grew on a bush
I planted a hand
Under the ivy bush
There is one that has a head without an eye
If a mouse could fly
Sing me a song
The lily has an air
Margaret has a milking-pail
In the meadow - what in the meadow
A frisky lamb
Mix a pancake
The wind has such a rainy sound
Three little children
Fly away, fly away over the sea
Minnie bakes oaten cakes
A white hen sitting
Currants on a bush
I have but one rose in the world
Rosy maiden Winifred
When the cows come home the milk is coming
Roses blushing red and white
"Ding a ding"
A ring upon her finger
"Ferry me across the water"
When a mounting skylark sings
Who has seen the wind
The horses of the sea
O sailor, come ashore
A diamond or a coal
An emerald is green as grass
Boats sail on the rivers
The lily has a smooth stalk
Hurt no living thing
I caught a little ladybird
All the bells were ringing
Wee wee husband
I have a little husband
The dear old woman in the lane
Swift and sure the swallow
"I dreamt I caught a little owl"
What does the bee do
I have a Poll parrot
A house of cards
The rose with such a bonny blush
The rose that blushes rosy red
Oh fair to see
Clever little Willie wee
The peach tree on the southern wall
A rose has thorns as well as honey
Is the moon tired? she looks so pale
If stars dropped out of heaven
"Goodbye in fear, goodbye in sorrow"
If the sun could tell us half
If the moon came from heaven
O Lady Moon, your horns point toward the east
What do the stars do
Motherless baby and babyless mother
Crimson curtains round my mother's bed
Baby lies so fast asleep
I know a baby, such a baby
Lullaby, oh lullaby
Lie a-bed

Verses (1893)

"OUT OF THE DEEP HAVE I CALLED UNTO THEE, O LORD"

Alone Lord God, in Whom our trust and peace
Seven vials hold Thy wrath: but what can hold
"Where neither rust nor moth doth corrupt"
"As the sparks fly upwards"
Lord, make us all love all: that when we meet
O Lord, I am ashamed to seek Thy Face
It is not death, O Christ, to die for Thee
Lord, grant us eyes to see and ears to hear
"Cried out with Tears"
O Lord, on Whom we gaze and dare not gaze
"I will come and heal him"
Ah, Lord, Lord, if my heart were right with Thine
"The gold of that land is good"
Weigh all my faults and follies righteously
Lord, grant me grace to love Thee in my pain
Lord, make me one with Thine own faithful ones
"Light of Light"

CHRIST OUR ALL IN ALL

"The ransomed of the Lord"
Lord, we are rivers running to Thy sea
"An exceeding bitter cry"
O Lord, when Thou didst call me, didst Thou know
"Thou, God, seest me"
Lord Jesus, who would think that I am Thine
"The Name of Jesus"
Lord God of Hosts, most Holy and most High
Lord, what have I that I may offer Thee
If I should say "my heart is in my home"
Leaf from leaf Christ knows
Lord, carry me. - Nay, but I grant thee strength
Lord, I am here. - But, child, I look for thee
New creatures; the Creator still the Same
"King of kings and lord of lords"
Thy Name, O Christ, as incense streaming forth
"The Good Shepherd"
"Rejoice with Me"
Shall...
