186. Another Year Is Dawning!

1 Another year is dawning!
Dear Father, let it be
In working or in waiting
Another year with Thee.
Another year of leaning
Upon Thy loving breast;
Another year of trusting,
Of quiet, happy rest.

2 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.

4 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.
