A year of fresh unvailings of God the Father's face;
A year of rich unfoldings of all His love and grace.
A year of consecrated life-of thought, and word, and deed;
A year of childlike confidence in every hour of need.
A year of patient running in the well-trodden track ;
A year of steadfast pursuing and never looking back.
A year of gracious keeping by Him who reigns above;
A year of patient waiting while nestling in His love.
A year of growing likeness to Christ the sinner's Friend;
A year of bright beginning, brightening to the end.

"Behold, I come quickly:hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown "-Rev. 3:11.

O that Thy Name may be sounded
Afar over earth and sea, Till the dead awaken and praise Thee,
And the dumb lips sing to Thee! Sound forth as a song of triumph,
Wherever man's foot has trod, The despised, the derided message,
The "foolishness" of God. Jesus, dishonored and dying,
A felon on either side- Jesus, the song of the drunkards,
Jesus the Crucified!

Name of God's tender comfort,
Name of His glorious power,
Name that is song and sweetness,
The strong everlasting tower,
Jesus the Lamb accepted,
Jesus the Priest on His throne-
Jesus the King who is coming-
Jesus, Thy name alone.
