This hymn was written by one of my favorite writers of all time, Frances Ridley Havergal. The lyrics are a beautiful prayer for a coming year. I hope that it will be a blessing and inspiration to you, as it has been to me.
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.
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.
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.
-F.R.H, 1874
May God bless you as you live for Him in 2014!
