  1. 1Another year is dawning!Dear Father, let it be,In working or in waitingAnother year with Thee!Another year of leaningUpon Thy loving breast,Another year of trusting,Of quiet, happy rest.
  2. 2Another year of mercies,Of faithfulness and grace;Another year of gladnessIn the shining of Thy face.Another year of progress,Another year of praise,Another year of provingThy presence all the days.
  3. 3Another year of service,Of witness for Thy love;Another year of trainingFor holier work above.Another year is dawning!Dear Father, let it beOn earth, or else in heaven,Another year for Thee.Amen.
