498. Still, Still With Thee

A      E7    A    D     A    Bm  A   E7   A         E
Still, still with Thee, when pur-ple morn-ing break-eth,

Em   Bm  F#7  Bm      E7              A
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;

A    E7 A    F#m  C#m  F#m  F# Bm F#7      Bm
Fair-er than morn-ing, love-li-er than day-light,

Em    Bm  F#7   Bm        E7              A
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.
