Another year is ending, Lord— Another year for me, And from my heart I thank Thee Lard, For all Thy gifts so free— Forgiveness for the wrong I've done, Whatever they have been; For lovingkmdness patience shoves., And strength to rise again. I thank Thee for Thy tender ears Supplying every need, And for the love of friends so dear - A blessing 'rich, indeed! So now, dear Father, take my hand While close to Thee I cling; Sometimes I may not understand, But I can trust --and sing; For Thou wilt lead Thy child arigh' Bach moment of each day, From earth toward Heavenly ,Man skins bright And love me all the way. V Our thanks should be as ferven for mercies received as our petition for mercies sought. —Charles Sim mons.
