LyicsStill with thee, O my God,
I would desire to be;
By day, by night, at home, abroad,
I would be still with thee; --
With thee, when dawn comes in,
And calls me back to care;
Each day returning to begin
With thee, my God, in prayer; --
With thee, amid the crowd
That throngs the busy mart,
To hear thy voice, 'mid clamor loud
Speak softly to my heart; --
With thee, when day is done,
And evening calms the mind:
The setting as the rising sun
With thee my heart would find.
With thee, when darkness brings
The signal of repose,
Calm in the shadow of thy wings,
Mine eyelids I would close.
With thee, by faith
Abiding I would be;
By day, by night, in life, in death,
I would be still with thee.
