Classic Poem

Another year has now been born,
The Old has died, the New is here,
We turn away from all the past,
And face the future without fear.

Another year—Oh may it be
A year unsullied, Lord, by sin?
The past we cannot alter now,
But we the future still can win.

Another year to work and pray,
To lead lost souls, dear Lord, to Thee;
Forgive us for our past mistakes,
And make us all we long to be.

Another year to send the Light
To those who have not heard Thy Name;
A year to welcome gain or loss,
And humbly all Thy blessings claim.
