Another year has rolled away,
And with it, all its cares;
But Jesus Christ, the same for aye,
Doth calm our troubled fears.
‘Tis in His might alone we tread,
The path now veiled from sight,
The God Who promised daily bread,
Will help us do the right.
We need not fear the rugged road,
With Jesus by our side;
He’ll help us carry every load,
If we in Him confide.
We turn from turmoil, strife and din
To listen to His voice;
He gives sweet rest and peace within,
If we make Him our choice.
On bruised feet and tired brain
He looks with pitying eye;
From Him our daily strength we gain
He hears the faintest sigh.
The sad and lonely find in Him
Their joy, both true and pure;
And when at last the eye grows dim
His love doth still hold sure.
In Christ we ever must abide,
If we would know His will;
Then let us learn of Him our guide,
And our life’s work fulfill.
We of ourselves can nothing do,
But on His life depend;
All love and power, all wisdom too,
Are His and know no end.
