1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, | |||
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; | |||
Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight, | |||
Dawns the sweet consciousness I am with Thee. | |||
2 Alone with Thee amid the mystic shadows, | |||
The solemn hush of nature newly born; | |||
Alone with Thee in breathless adoration, | |||
In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. | |||
3 Still, still with Thee! as to each newborn morning | |||
A fresh and solemn splendor still is given, | |||
So does this blessed consciousness, awaking, | |||
Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven. | |||
4 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, | |||
Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer; | |||
Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading, | |||
But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. | |||
5 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, | |||
When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee; | |||
O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, | |||
Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee. | |||
Amen.}} | |||

1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh,
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;
Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight,
Dawns the sweet consciousness I am with Thee.
2 Alone with Thee amid the mystic shadows,
The solemn hush of nature newly born;
Alone with Thee in breathless adoration,
In the calm dew and freshness of the morn.
3 Still, still with Thee! as to each newborn morning
A fresh and solemn splendor still is given,
So does this blessed consciousness, awaking,
Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven.
4 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber,
Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer;
Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading,
But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there.
5 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning,
When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee;
O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning,
Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee.
Amen.
