Blessings unsought have come to us each day
The gracious gifts of One above. Our life and all that come our varied way
The token of a Father’s love.
Sustained and guided, too, the present world,
The creatures great, the creatures small. The ocean waves which toss, the winds that whirl
The smaller streams and the water fall.
A year has passed. And now a new one born
Unseen by man the change is made. Time still unmeasured, no eve, night or morn
For Him who earth’s foundations laid. And yet He cares and calls to every man And fain wound grant a better way, Than living out a few years’ weary span He offers all eternal day.
May we who have professed to run the race
Take thoughtful heed for this New Year. And seek in prayer for strength and heavenly grace
Exhort ourselves with words austere. ‘Tis not the hours or years we give the Lord
In hope to hear the words “Well done” The crown of life for those is well assured
Who give their best through Yahweh’s Son.
‘One thing needful’. Is read and read again
The Teacher taught by precept too. And all is penned in words recorded plain
What God would have His servant do. We have so much, and those who have the more
Is not the rule to measure by.
The widow gave just what she had in store
Unmindful of the passers by.
