498. Still, Still With Thee

D      A7    D    G     D    Em  D   A7   D         A
Still, still with Thee, when pur-ple morn-ing break-eth,

Am   Em  B7   Em      A7              D
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;

D    A7 D    Bm   F#m  Bm   B  Em B7       Em
Fair-er than morn-ing, love-li-er than day-light,

Am    Em  B7    Em        A7              D
Dawns the sweet conscious-ness, I am with Thee.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 3]
Still, still with Thee! 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.

[Verse 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.
