Still, Still with Thee
Author: Harriet B.Stowe, 1812-1896 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 341 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 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 Still, still with Thee! as to each newborn morning
A fresh and solemn splendor still is given,
So does this blessed consciousness, awaking,
Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven.
4 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.
5 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.
Amen.

Great God, How Infinite Art Thou
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 321 hymnals First Line: Great God, how infinite art Thou! Lyrics: 1 Great God, how infinite art Thou!
What worthless ones are we!
Let the whole race of creatures bow,
And pay their praise to Thee.
2 Thy throne eternal ages stood,
Ere seas or stars were made;
Thou art the ever-living God,
Were all the nations dead.
3 Eternity, with all its years,
Stands present in Thy view;
To Thee there’s nothing old appears;
Great God, there’s nothing new.
4 Our lives through various scenes are drawn,
And vexed with trifling cares,
While Thine eternal thought moves on
Thine undisturbed affairs.

All Things Bright and Beautiful
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Appears in 331 hymnals First Line: Each little flower that opens Lyrics: Refrain:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
1 Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings. [Refrain]
2 The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
He made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate. [Refrain]
3 The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning
That brightens up the sky; [Refrain]
4 The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden:
He made them every one; [Refrain]
5 The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
We gather every day; [Refrain]
6 He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well. [Refrain]

It is not night if Thou be near;

To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.

My wearied eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought, how sweet to rest
Forever on my Savior's breast.

For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.
4 Be near and bless me when I wake,
Ere through the world my way I take,
Abide with me till in Thy love
I lose myself in heaven above.
Amen.

It Is Good to Sing Thy Praises
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It is good to sing Thy praises
And to thank Thee, O Most High,
Showing forth Thy loving-kindness
When the morning lights the sky.
It is good when night is falling
Of Thy faithfulness to tell,
While with sweet, melodious praises
Songs of adoration swell.
2 Thou hast filled my heart with gladness
Through the works Thy hands have wrought;
Thou hast made my life victorious,
Great Thy works and deep Thy thought.
Thou, O Lord, on high exalted,
Reignest evermore in might;
All Thine enemies shall perish,
Sin be banished from Thy sight.
3 But the good shall live before Thee,
Planted in Thy dwelling place,
Fruitful trees and ever verdant,
Nourished by Thy boundless grace.
In His goodness to the righteous
God His righteousness displays;
God, my rock, my strength and refuge,
Just and true are all His ways.
Amen.

And let His praise employ thy tongue,
Till listening worlds shall join the song.
