Another Year

Sunrise Path
In January of 1874, Frances Ridley Havergal sent a New Year’s greeting entitled, “A Happy New Year! Ever Such May It Be!” This is what she wrote:
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 of dawning, Dear Father, let it be, on earth, or else in heaven, another year for Thee. Amen.
May this be our prayer as we begin another year in Him!
