Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh

Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1812-1896 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #521a (1917) Topics: Abiding, presence of Christ Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee, Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee. 2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with Thee in breathless adoration, In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. 3 As in the dawning o'er the waveless ocean, The image of the morning-star doth rest, So in the stillness, Thou beholdest only Thine image in the waters of my breast. 4 Still, still with Thee! As to each newborn morning A fresh and solemn splendour still is given, So does this blessed consciousness, awaking, Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven. 5 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. 6 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought I am with Thee.

The presence of Christ the joy of his People

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Presence of Christ the joy of his people First Line: The wondering nations have beheld Lyrics: 1 The wondring nations have beheld The sacred prophesy fulfill'd, And angels hail'd the glorious morn, That shew'd the great Messiah born; 2 The prince! the Savior! long desir'd, Whom men foretold, by heaven inspir'd, And raptur'd saw the blissful day Rise o'er the world with healing ray. 3 Oft, in the temples of his grace His saints behold his smiling face: And oft have seen his glory shine, With power and majesty divine: 4 But soon, alas! his absence mourn, And pray and wish his kind return; Without his life-inspiring light, 'Tis all a scene of gloomy night. 5 Come, dearest Lord, thy children cry, Our graces droop, our comforts die; Return, and let thy glories rise Again to our admiring eyes; 6 'Till fill'd with light, and joy, and love, Thy courts below, like those above, Triumphant hallelujahs raise, And heaven and earth resound thy praise.

How tedious and tasteless the hours

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #400 (1870) Topics: Presence of Christ Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours, When Jesus no longer I see; Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers Have all lost their sweetness with me; The midsummer's sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in Him, December's as pleasant as May. 2 His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music His voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice; I should, were He always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I, My summer would last all the year. 3 Content with beholding His face, My all to His pleasure resign'd; No changes of seasons or place Would make any change in my mind. While bless'd with the sense of His love, A palace a toy would appear; And prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. Languages: English

Lyte Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #455 (1934) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Presence of Christ Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies. Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
