Still, Still With Thee
Author: Mrs. H. B. Stowe Appears in 364 hymnals First Line: Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh,
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;
Fairer than morning, lovelier than the 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 holy 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 this stillness Thou beholdest only
Thine image mirrored in my peaceful breast.
4 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber,
Its closing eye looks up to Thee in pray'r;
Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading,
But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there.
5 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning,
When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee;
Oh, in that glad hour, fairer than day dawning,
Shall rise the glorious tho't, I am with Thee!

Still, Still With Thee
Though love may weep with breaking heart
Author: Anon. Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Though love may weep with breaking heart,
There comes, O Christ, a day of thine!
There is a morning star must shine,
And all those shadows shall depart.
2 Though faith may droop and tremble here,
That day of light shall surely come;
His path will lead him safely home;
When twilight breaks, the dawn is near.
3 Though hope seem now to hope in vain,
And Death, seem king of all below,
There yet shall come the morning glow,
And wake our slumbers once again. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: BARNES

Gently, dear Saviour, now we bring
Gently, dear Saviour, now we bring
Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #930 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Gently, dear Saviour, now we bring
The loved one death has called his own;
With all our griefs to thee we cling,
For unto thee our griefs are known.
2 Thy way is best; and though we weep,
We would not break this calm repose:
Thou givest thy beloved sleep,
And thou hast willed these eyes should close.
3 Blest be the grief that closer binds
Our mourning hearts, O Lord, to thee!
Blest be the faith, in death that finds
A hope of immmortality!
4 Thus dust to dust, and earth to earth,
And ashes cold we lay away
To wait that glad, immortal birth,
The promised resurrection day. Topics: Death and Resurrection Tune Title: BARNES

Still, Still With Thee
Harriet Beecher Stowe
1811 - 1896 Person Name: Mrs. H. B. Stowe Author of "Still, Still With Thee" in Christ in Song Stowe, Harriet, née Beecher, daughter of the Rev. Lyman Beecher, D.D., was born at Litchfield, Connecticut, June 15, 1812. In 1832, her father having been appointed President of Lane Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio, she removed therewith the family; and in 1833 was married to the Rev. Calvin E. Stowe, D.D., Professor of Languages and Biblical Literature in the same Institution. Her high reputation as an author is well known; and the immense success of Uncle Tom's Cabin, which first appeared in The National Era, in 1852, ensures her a lasting reputation. She has also written other well-known works. Three of her hymns appeared in the Plymouth Collection, edited by her brother, H. W. Beecher, in 1855:—
1. Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh. Resting in God.
2. That mystic word of Thine, 0 sovereign Lord. Abiding in Jesus.
3. When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean. Peace.
Another hymn by Mrs. Stowe, "How beautiful, said he of old" (The Gospel Ministry), is No. 231 in the Boston Hymns of the Spirit, 1864. Her poetic pieces were published in her Religious Poems, 1867; and from a poem therein the hymn, "Knocking, knocking, who is there?" (Christ knocking), in Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos is adapted. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]

F. E. Belden
1858 - 1945 Composer of "BARNES" in Christ in Song Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
