Poem for the Day

ANOTHER YEAR FOR THEE

———

ANOTHER year we welcome!

Dear Master, may it be,

In thought and word and action,

Another year for Thee!

Another year of leaning

Upon Thy loving breast,

Where heartaches, pain and sorrow

Are lost in happy rest.

Another year of proving

Thy holy, blessed will,

To find my joy in doing,

And in Thy hand hold still;

Another year of service,

To prove to Thee my love;

Another year of training

For greater works above.

Another year of trials

And the blessings that they bring;

Another year’s protection

‘Neath the shadow of Thy wing.

Another year of gladness I

Dear Master, may it be,

In living and in dying,

Another year for Thee!
