"Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap
nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father
keeps feeding them. Are you not worth
much more than they?"
Matthew 6:26
Now the year is over,
Let us braver stand,
Seeking to discover
His-our Father's-hand;
Let us "follow wholly"
Though our sight be dim;
He would make us holy
For a life with Him.
Every day He sends us,
He Himself prepares;
He Himself attends us
Through its joys and cares;
His true love beseeching,
Let us, then draw near;
Seeking guidance, teaching,
For the opening year.
"The Old Year and The New"
Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliot
(1836-1897)
English hymn writer
