Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe Hymnal: Worship in Song #33 (1996) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: Still, still with thee, when purple morning breaketh Lyrics: 1 Still, still with thee, when purple morning breaketh,
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;
Fairer than morning, lovelier than the 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 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber,
Its closing eye looks up to thee in prayer;
Sweet the repose beneath thy wings over shading,
But sweeter still to wake and find thee there.
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. Topics: Adoration; Creation; Death; Memorial Meeting; Morning; Nature; Prayer; Resurrection Scripture: Psalm 139:18 Tune Title: CONSOLATION
