ANOTHER year is dawning;
    Dear Master, let it be,
In working or in waiting,
    Another year with Thee.
 
2  Another year of leaning
    Upon Thy loving breast,
Of growing trust and patience,
    Of quiet, happy rest.
 
3  Another year of mercies,
    Of faithfulness and grace;
Another year of gladness
    In the shining of Thy face.
 
4  Another year of progress,
    Another year of praise,
Another year of proving
    Thy presence all the days.
 
5  Another year of service,
    Of witness for Thy love;
Another year of training
    For holier work above.
 
6  Another year is dawning;
    Dear Master, let it be,
On earth, or else in Heaven,
    Another year for Thee.
 
Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-79
