Another year hath fled; renew 
Another year hath fled ; renew, Lord, with our days thy love ! our days are evil here and few ; we look to live above: we will not grieve, though day by day we pass from earthly joys away ; our joy abides in thee; our joy abides in thee ! 
Yet, when our sins we call to mind, we cannot fail to grieve; but thou art pitiful and kind, and wilt our prayer receive : O Jesus, evermore the same, our hope we rest upon thy Name ; our hope abides in thee ; our hope abides in thee ! 
For all the future, Lord, prepare our souls with strength divine; help us to cast on thee our care, and on thy servants shine: life without thee is dark and drear; death is not death if thou art near; our life abides in thee; our life abides in Thee! 
Arthur Tozer Russell (1806-1874)
