Description
Still With Thee
Words by Harriet Beecher StoweMusic by Elaine HagenbergWritten 1855
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.
When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber,
Its closing eye looks up to thee in prayer;
The sweet repose, beneath the wings o’ershading,
But sweeter still to wake and find thee there.
Shall it be when that bright morning breaketh,
When the soul waketh, and life’s shadows flee;
Oh, fairer than the morning, lovelier than daylight,
Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with thee!
