1965: A New Year’s Promise

Another year I enter

Its history unknown

Oh, how my feet would tremble

To tread its paths alone!

But I have heard God’s whisper

I know I shall be blest;

“My presence shall go with thee

And I will give thee rest.”

What will the new year bring me?

I may not, must not, know.

Will it be love and rapture?

Or lonliness and woe?

Hush! Hush! I hear His whisper:

I surely shall be blest.;

“My presence shall go with thee,

And I will give thee rest.”
