Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1812-1896 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #521a (1917) 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. Topics: Abiding, presence of Christ; The Christian Life The Inner Life; Morning Hymns for ; Prayer Morning Languages: English Tune Title: CONSOLATION (I)
