Another year of leaning Upon Thy loving breast, Another year of trusting, Of quiet, happy rest. 3 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! Amen.

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: AMEC1984 #581 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand By which supported still we stand; The opening year Thy mercy shows, That mercy crowns it till it close. 2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still are we guarded by our God: By His incessant bounty fed, By His unerring counsel led. 3 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown, We to Thy guardian care commit And, peaceful, leave before Thy feet. 4 In scenes exalted or depressed Thou art our joy, and Thou our rest; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored though all our changing days. 5 When death shall interrupt our songs And seal in silence mortal tongues, Our helper, God, on whom we trust, In better worlds our souls shall boast.

You've got to have "know-how" and faith And the strength to follow through. 2 You never will be free Unless you play your part; So, get your "input in the pad" Right from the very start. 3 Freedom is worth the price, No matter what the cost; So,"hang in there" and "do your thing," Or freedom will be lost. 4 You have expressed your plight In many different ways; So, press right on and "dig in" now, And take the other phase. 5 That phase, that worthy stance, Is competence in work; So, come on in, the time is now! "Get with it," do not shirk! 6 The Lord is on your side, All captives are set free; And in His strength you'll overcome; March on to victory!
