Hush! The Year Is Dying,
Soft, Without A Sound;
Snowflakes, Shroud-Like, Lying,
On The Earth Around;
All Its Strivings Over,
All Its Story Done;
Now—Its Memories Hover
O’er A Year Begun.
Some Of Us Were Lonely
In Its Brightest Hours,
Sadly Whispering, Only
Let Thy Will Be Ours!
Some Of Us Were Tired
In Its Summer Days;
Weary, We Desired
Gladder, Brighter Ways.
We But Seemed Repeating
Changeless Rounds Of Life,
Daily, Hourly Meeting
Well Known Cares And Strife;
Life A Little Colder,
Fewer Loving Smiles,
We But Growing Older,
In Familiar Whiles.
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.
