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