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 day is done,
And evening calms the mind;
The setting as the rising sun
With thee my heart would find:
With thee, in thee, by faith
Abiding would I be;
By day, by night, in life, in death,
I would be still with thee.
