English 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
As in the dawning o'er the waveless ocean The image of the morning star doth rest, So in the stillness Thou beholdest only Thine image in the waters of my breast.
Verse 4
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 5
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.
Verse 6
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.
