Still with thee, O my God
Author: Rev. James D. Burns Hymnal: The Hymnal #100 (1950) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Orisons Lyrics: 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.
2 With Thee when dawn comes in
And calls me back to care,
Each day returning to begin
With Thee, my God, in prayer.
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.
4 With Thee when darkness brings
The signal of repose,
Calm in the shadow of Thy wings,
Mine eyelids I would close.
5 With Thee, in Thee, by faith
Abiding, I would be;
By day, by night, in life, in death,
I would be still with Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: RHIW

Love's Fire Thou art, however cold I be;
Nor heaven have I, nor place to lay my head,
Nor home, but Thee.
