Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh

Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1812-1896 Appears in 359 hymnals Topics: Abiding, presence of Christ 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.
