Still, Still with Thee, When Purple Morning Breaketh

Author: Harriet Elizabeth (Beecher) Stowe Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 360 hymnals 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 the wings o’ershading, 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 for that hour when fairer than the dawning Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee!

O for the pearly gates of heav'n! O for the golden floor! O for the Sun of Righteousness That setteth nevermore! 2 The highest hopes we cherish here, How fast they tire and faint! How many a spot defiles the robe That wraps an earthly saint! O for a heart that never sins! O for a soul washed white! O for a voice to praise our King, Nor weary day or night! 3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hopes, And grace to lead us higher: But there are perfectness and peace Beyond our great desire. O by Thy love and anguish, Lord, O by Thy life laid down, O that we fall not from Thy grace, Nor cast away our crown! Amen.
