One More Year Has Gone

lyricist: Mary Slade, 1870
Composer: C. R. Leftwich,1874

One more year has gone!

Joy­ful march­ing on

We this height have won

Rest­ing here;

Back a look we cast

O’er the jour­ney past

Then we’ll view at last

The com­ing year.

Teachers

stu­dents

Ral­ly round our ban­ner

See its mot­to

Shin­ing fair and clear;

Onward! Up­ward!

Child­ren sing ho­san­na!

God will lead us thro’

Ano­ther year.

Glad we here have come

Oh

sweet Sab­bath home

None from thee would roam

Bless­èd place!

Here our feet have turned

Here our hearts have burned

Here our souls have learned

The works of grace.

Foward march­ing we

Our bright way would see

Upward

Lord

to Thee

Climb­ing still.

Be our guide

we pray—

Ev­ery Sab­bath day;

Teach us

Lord

the way

And Thy dear will.

Father

hear our call;

Let Thy bless­ing fall

On Thy child­ren all

Draw­ing near.

May sweet show­ers of love

Thy dear pre­sence prove

While we on­ward move

Ano­ther year.
