Happy New Year

Another year is dawning!

Dear Master, let it be,

In working or in waiting,

Another year with Thee.

Another year in leaning,

Upon Thy loving breast,

Of ever-deepening trustfulness,

Of quiet, happy rest.

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."

--Frances Ridley Havergal
