(5th January 1833) Songs
The London Literary Gazette, 1833-1835
“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.”
Reported in James Freeman Clarke, Book of Worship for the Congregation and the Home (1852), p. 431.
