- 1Still with Thee, O my God,
- I would desire to be,
- By day, by night, at home, abroad,
- I would be still with Thee.
- 2With Thee when dawn comes in
- And calls me back to care,
- Each day returning to begin
- With Thee, my God, in prayer.
- 3With Thee amid the crowd
- That throngs the busy mart,
- To hear Thy voice, where time's is loud,
- Speak softly to my heart.
- 4With Thee when day is done,
- And evening calms the mind;
- The setting as the rising sun
- With Thee my heart would find.
- 5With thee when darkness brings
- The signal of repose.
- Calm in the shadow of Thy wings,
- Mine eyelids I would close.
- 6With Thee, in Thee, by faith
- Abiding, I would be;
- By day, by night, in life, in death,
- I would be still with Thee.
