Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh

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 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. Used With Tune: CONSOLATION

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.

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
