Another year is dawning
-----------------------
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.
