Another Year

Verse 1

Another year is dawning,
a path unknown, untried.
T’would fill me with foreboding,
Had I no hand to Guide;

But He who walked beside me
all through the yesteryear,
Whatever may betide me,
has promised to be near.

Verse 2

Another year to trust Him.
Yes, I can trust Him still.
Who never yet has failed me
as I have sought His will.

His rod and staff He giveth,
to be my strength and stay,
and tenderly He leadeth,
along the homeward way.

Verse 3

Another year to serve Him,
to labor for Him here,
E’en while the shadows lengthen
and night is drawing near.

I no not when He’ll call me to lay my sickle by,
Oh, may I then be faithful while now the moments fly!

Verse 4

Another year to love Him,
Whom I have loved so long;
another year to praise Him In glad triumphant song.
What’er the future holdeth of sorrow, toil, or pain

His precious love endureth forevermore the same.

Verse 5

Another year with Jesus!
I thank thee, Lord, today
For thy unfailing presence Along life’s rugged way.
Guide me, O blest Redeemer;

Teach me to do Thy will.
And Thine own perfect purpose
In me each day fulfill.
