Another Year is Dawning
Another year is dawning!
Dear Father, let it be,
in working or in waiting,
Another year with thee;
Another year of progress,
another year of praise,
another year of proving,
Thy presence all the days
Another year of mercies,
of faithfulness and grace;
another year of gladness
in the shining of thy face;
Another year of leaning upon
Thy loving breast;
Another of trusting,
of quiet, happy rest
Another year of service,
of witness for thy love;
another year of training
for holier work above.
Another year is dawning!
Dear Father, let it be
on earth, or else in heaven,
another year for thee.
