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 progress,  
Another year of praise,  
Another year of proving  
Thy presence all the days.  

2 Another year of mercies,  
Of faithfulness and grace;  
Another year of gladness  
In the shining of Thy face;  
Another year of leaning  
Upon Thy loving breast;  
Another year of trusting,  
Of quiet, happy rest.  

3 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.
