Gospel Herald in Song ‎#183

183. Anniversary Day

1 Another year has glided by,
Beneath our Father’s watchful eye;
And in His courts, we meet to raise,
An anniversary hymn of praise.

Refrain:
Praise Him who sweetly crowns the year;
Tell His goodness o’er and o’er;
Praise Him, with heart and lip sincere
Praise the Lord forevermore.

2 Though on the glow a shadow falls,
A blessed promise faith recalls,
For dear ones who have passed away,
Since our last anniversary day. [Refrain]

3 May we, who still shall gather here,
To Jesus lend a list’ning ear,
And growing in His love each day,
May we to others, show the way. [Refrain]

4 When life itself shall glide away,
In Heav’n sweet everlasting day,
May we, together swell the song,
That rises from the white-robe throng. [Refrain]
