Another Year Is Dawning

Lyrics ~ Frances R. Havergal, 1836 -1879
Music ~ Samule S. Wesley, 1810 - 1876

 

Another year is dawning!

Dear Father, let it be,

In working or in waiting,

Another year with Thee;

Another year of leaning

Upon Thy loving breast;

Another year of trusting,

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;

 

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.
