Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh
Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1812-1896 Appears in 360 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 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 As in the dawning o'er the waveless ocean,
The image of the morning-star doth rest,
So in the stillness, Thou beholdest only
Thine image in the waters of my breast.
4 Still, still with Thee! As to each newborn morning
A fresh and solemn splendour still is given,
So does this blessed consciousness, awaking,
Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven.
5 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.
6 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. Used With Tune: O PERFECT LOVE
Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh

Oh, words with heav'nly comfort fraught!
Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me!
Refrain:
He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
By his own hand he leadeth me.
His faithful foll'wer I would be,
For by his hand he leadeth me.
2 Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
By waters calm, o'er troubled sea,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. [Refrain]
3 Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. [Refrain]
4 And when my task on earth is done,
When by thy grace the vict'ry's won,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me. [Refrain] Used With Tune: HE LEADETH ME
He Leadeth Me: Oh, Blessed Thought!
We Would See Jesus
Author: Anna B. Warner, 1820-1915 Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: Inner Life First Line: We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen
Across this little landscape of our life;
We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen
For the last weariness, the final strife.
2 We would see Jesus; the great Rock Foundation
Whereon our feet were set by sov'reign grace;
Nor life, nor death, with all their agitation,
Can thence remove us, if we see His face.
3 We would see Jesus; sense is all too binding,
And heaven appears too dim, too far away.
We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding
What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay.
4 We would see Jesus; this is all we're needing;
Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight;
We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading;
Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.
Amen. Used With Tune: CONSOLATION (Mendelssohn)
We Would See Jesus
How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,665 hymnals Topics: Inner Life Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
And drives away all fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole
And calms the heart's unrest;
It's manna to the hungry soul
And to the weary, rest.
3 Dear name! The rock on which I build,
My shield and hiding place;
My never-failing treasury filled
With boundless stores of grace.
4 By you my prayers acceptance gain
Although with sin defiled.
The devil charges me in vain,
And God calls me his child.
5 O Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my life, my way, my end,
Accept the praise I bring.
6 I praise in weakness from afar--
How cold my warmest thought!
But when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
7 Till then I would your love proclaim
With ev'ry fleeting breath;
And may the music of your name
Refresh my soul in death! Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Michael Schirmer, 1606-73 Meter: Irregular Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, enter in,
Among these hearts thy work begin,
Thy temple deign to make us;
Sun of the soul, thou light divine,
Around and in us brightly shine,
To strength and gladness wake us.
Where thou shinest,
Life from heaven there is given;
We before thee
For that precious gift implore thee.
2 Left to ourselves we shall but stray,
O lead us on the narrow way,
With wisest counsel guide us;
And give us steadfastness, that we
May henceforth truly follow thee,
Whatever woes betide us;
Heal thou gently
Hearts now broken, give some token
Thou art near us,
Whom we trust to light and cheer us. A-men.
3 O mighty Rock, O Source of life!
Let thy dear word, 'mid doubt and strife,
Be so within us burning,
That we be faithful unto death
In thy pure love and holy faith,
From thee true wisdom learning.
Lord, thy graces
On us shower; by thy power
Christ confessing,
Let us win his grace and blessing.
4 Grant that our days, while life shall last,
In purest holiness be passed;
Our minds so rule and strengthen
That they may rise o'er things of earth,
The hopes and joys that here have birth;
And if our course thou lengthen,
Keep thou pure, Lord,
From offences, heart and senses;
Blessèd Spirit,
Bid us thus true life inherit.
Amen. Used With Tune: WIE SCHON LEUCHTET
