Another year is dawning

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.

Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace,
Another year of gladness in the shining of Thy face;
Another year of leaning upon Thy loving breast;
Another year of trusting, of quiet, happy rest.

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.

- this hymn can also be sung with another week
- indeed, it's week after week, even day after day, Lord we wait upon thee
come quickly

hymn 557 - Distraction in prayer

stanza 4:
had I kept stricter watch each hour
over tongue and eye and ear
had I but mortified all day
each joy as it came near
had I, dear Lord! no pleasure found,
But in the thought of Thee,
prayer would have come unsought, and been
a true liberty

Frederick W. Faber

Study of Luke 9 - New Port Family meeting

Study of Luke 9 - ref Campbell Morgan

ref: Herold Luke 23:11

that prophet: Deu 18:15

Darby: 51 And it came to pass when the days of his receiving up were fulfilled, that *he* stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

luke 12:50 - set his face steadfast toward Jerusalem -

Summary: luke chapter 9 is a pivatol point in the Gospel of Luke, when God speaks three times in Luke. The first time when Jesus is baptised, the 2nd is on top of Mt. Hermon (here in chapter 9) and the third time is when our Lord is about to go to the Cross. Using this 3 instances, we could link and set stages of the whole book of the Gospel according to Luke.
