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 in heaven, another year for Thee.

~Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879)
