195. ANOTHER YEAR IS DAWNING

1. Another year is dawning!

Dear Father, let it be,

In working or in waiting,

Another year with Thee;

Another year of progress,

Another year of praise,

Another year of proving,

Thy presence all the days.

2. Another year of mercies,

Of faithfulness and grace;

Another year of gladness

The glory of Thy face;

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.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
