HYMN 230

Tune:  DCM "Baba Niwaju ite Re”



1.  ANOTHER year is dawning 

     A path unknown, untried

     He would fill me with foreboding 

     Had I no hand to guide

     But He who walked beside me 

     All through the yester year 

     Whatever may betide me

     He’s promised to be near.


2.  Another year with Jesus 

     Ah, then, no dread I know

    His love is ever precious 

    Howe‘er the winds may blow 

    E‘en when the storm is fiercest,

    In Him my soul may rest

    And find sweet peace and comfort 

    In Thy bossom we plead.


3.  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.


4.  Another year to serve Him

     To labour for Him here

    E‘en while the shadows lengthen 

    And night is drawing near
 
    I know not when He’ll call me 

    To lay my sickle by

    Oh, may I then be faithful 

    While now the moments fly!


5.  Another year to love Him 

    Whom I have loved so long 

    Another year to praise Him 

    In glad triumphant song

    Whate‘er the future holdest

    Of sorrow, toil, or pain 

    His precious Love-enduret 

    Forevermore the same.


6.  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 fulfil.  Amen
