HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Another Year Is Dawning

Another year is dawning,

Dear Master, let it be,

In working, or in waiting,

Another year with Thee.

Another year of mercies,

Of faithfulness and grace;

Another year of gladness

In the shining of Thy face.

Another year of progress,

Another year of praise,

Another year of proving

Thy presence all the days.

Another year of service,

Of witness of Thy love,

Another year of training

For holier work above.

Another year is dawning,

Dear Master, let it be,

On earth, or else in heaven

Another year for Thee.

Francis Ridley Havergal (1874)
