ANOTHER YEAR by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: ANOTHER YEAR IS DAWNING!
Last Line: ANOTHER YEAR FOR THEE!
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; NEW YEAR; PRAYER;
ANOTHER year is dawning!
Dear Master, let it be
In working or in waiting
Another year with Thee.

Another year of leaning
Upon Thy loving breast,
Of ever-deepening trustfulness,
Of quiet, happy rest.

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 for 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!
