Happy 2023, Kindreds!!

 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.

-Hymn by Frances Havergal
