Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #271 (2007) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Another year is dawning! Lyrics: 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.
Amen. Topics: Creation; New Year Scripture: Psalm 90:12 Languages: English; Latin Tune Title: AURELIA
