[Another year for Jesus]
Another New Year
Author: F. J. Hallgreen Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Another year for Jesus Lyrics: 1. Another year for Jesus
Has gone just as it is;
A new one stands before us,
To make more wholly his.
2. What errors in the last year,
That we can rectify?
Where can we make improvement,
Ah, will we really try?
3. Shall we be all for Jesus,
No matter what the cost,
And do our very uttmost
To help him save the lost?
4. He's coming soon to bring us
To live with him in light;
O, do we wear the garment
By Jesus' blood made white?
5. O make the year a glad one,
With service for our King;
And when he comes to call us,
With ransomed ones we'll sing.

Cast Thy Bread Upon the Waters
Author: John J. Hood Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Ye who have but scant supply;
Angel eyes will watch above it,
You shall find it bye and bye.
He who in His righteous balance
Doth each human action weigh,
Will your sacrifice remember,
Will your loving deed repay.
2 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Poor and weary, worn with care,
Often sitting in the shadows,
Have you not a crumb to spare?
Can you not to those around you
Sing some little song of hope,
While you look with longing vision
Thro’ faith’s mighty telescope?
3 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Ye who have abundant store;
It may float on many billows,
It may strand on many a shore;
You may think it lost forever;
But as sure as God is true,
In this life or in the other,
It will yet return to you.
4 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Far and wide your treasure strew;
Scatter it with willing fingers;
Laugh for joy to see it go;
For if you too closely keep it,
It will only drag you down;
If you love it more than Jesus,
It will keep you from your crown.
5 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Waft it on with prayerful breath;
In some distant, doubtful moment
It may save a soul from death;
Or when you shall sleep in silence,
’Neath the morn and evening dew,
Stranger hands that you have strengthened
May strew lilies over you. Used With Tune: LOS GATOS Text Sources: Gospel in Song by Francis Blackmer (Springfield, Mass.: F. A. Blackmer, 1884)

Cast Thy Bread Upon the Waters
F. A. Blackmer
1855 - 1930 Composer of "[Another year for Jesus]" in Carols of Hope Blackmer, Francis Augustus. (Ware, Massachusetts, February 17, 1855--October 8, 1930, Somerville, Massachusetts). Advent Christian musician. His parents, Augustus and Jane Blackmer, were among those caught up in the excitement of the Millerite Movement. One son, Fred, became an Advent Christian minister. Francis, with a talent recognized at an early age, consecrated his own life to Christian service as a musician. He was immersed in baptism at the Adventist campmeeting in Springfield, Massachusetts, by Elder Miles Grant.
His early years were spend in central Massachusetts, his schooling at Wilbraham Academy. He was largely self-taught in harmony and musical composition. He wrote the words and music to his first gospel song, "Out on the fathomless sea," at the age of sixteen. Altogether he wrote over 300 gospel songs about the Second Coming, witnessing and working for the Lord, and praises to God's Holy Name. A few of these have circulated widely outside his own denomination. His final text, "I shall see him, And be like him," came when he was so weak that his friend, Clarence M. Seamans, had to supply the music. He used the pseudonym, A. Francis, with some of his early songs.
Blackmer's first anthology was The Gospel Awakening, (1888). Subsequent gospel songbooks with which he was associated were: Singing by the Way (1895), Carols of Hope (1906), The Golden Sheaf, No. 2 (1916), and Songs of Coming Glory (1926).
Most of his adult life was spent in Somerville, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, where he had a prosperous piano business. In the 1890s, his "Francis A. Blackmer Pianos" were made for him by the Washington Hall Piano Company of Boston. Later, his "Good as Gold Pianos" were manufactured by the Christman Piano Company of New York City and shipped directly to his customers throughout New England.
In Somerville, Blackmer served as choirmaster and song-leader in the Advent Christian Church for many years. He was also an elder of the church until his death. From 1914 until his death, he was songleader at the mid-summer Alton Bay Campmeeting on Lake Winnepesaukee, New Hapshire. There his High Rock Hill was both a salesroom and a summer cottage over the years. He was a member of the board of directors of the campmeeting association for several years. Very popular were his singing sessions on the campground square between suppertim and evening services, and a final sing into the small hours of the night following the final service of the campmeeting.
