Dear Master, for this coming year
Just one request I bring:
I do not pray for happiness,
Or any earthy thing…
I do not ask to understand
The way Thou leadest me,
But this I ask: Teach me to do
The thing that pleaseth Thee.
I want to know Thy guiding voice
To walk with Thee each day.
Dear Master, make me swift to hear
And ready to obey,
And thus the year I now begin
A happy year will be.
If I am seeking just to do
The thing that pleaseth Thee.
