Hymn 230 – ANOTHER year is dawning | C&S English Hymnary

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
