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 year 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.
