Lyrics

I am still with Thee,
Where’er I stray;
I am still with Thee,
By night and day;
On the morn­ing’s wings
Tho’ I re­pair
To the far­thest bound,
The Lord is there!

Refrain

In that home above,
Oh, let me be
Forevermore,
Dear Lord, with Thee.

I am still with Thee,
In bliss or woe;
I am still with Thee,
I joy­ous know;
On Thy arm of might
My soul shall lean,
When the storm is loud,
Or sky se­rene!

Refrain

I am still with Thee,
Tho’ far I rove;
I am still with Thee,
And feel Thy love;
In each try­ing hour
Be Thou my friend,
And my jour­ney thro’
My steps at­tend.

Refrain

I am still with Thee,
Tho’ from my sight
Thou art hid­den still
By day and night;
When the vale of death
My feet shall near,
May Thy pre­sence quell
My ev­ery fear.
