Still 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, where time's is loud, Speak softly to my heart.

With Thee when darkness brings The signal of repose, Calm in the shadow of Thy wings, Mine eyelids I would close.

With Thee, in Thee, by faith Abiding, I would be; By day, by night, in life, in death, I would be still with Thee.

Amen.
