Prayer for the New Year What shall I ask for the coming year? What shall my watchword be? What would You do for me, dear Lord? What can I do for You? Lord, I would ask for a holy year, Spent in Your perfect will; Help me to walk in Your very steps— Help me to please You still. Lord, I would ask for a trustful year; Humble, and yet so high; Help me to sink at Your blessed feet, And on Your bosom lie. Lord, I would ask for a year of faith; Give me Your faith divine. Taking my full inheritance, Making Your fullness mine. Lord, I would ask for a year of love, That I may love You best; Give me the love that fails not, Lord, I would ask for a busy year, Filled up with service true; Doing with all Your Spirits might All that I find to do. Lord, I would ask for a year of prayer—Teach me to walk with You; Breathe in my heart Your Spirits breath; Pray for me Your prayer in me. Lord, I would ask for a dying world; Stretch forth Your mighty hand; Scatter Your Word - Your power display this year in every land. Lord, I would ask for a year of joy, Your peace, Your joy divine, Springing undimmed through all the day, whether of shade or shine. Lord, I would ask for a year of hope, Looking for You to come, And hastening on that year of years, That brings us Christ and home. ~A.B.
