What shall I ask for the coming year, What shall my watchword be?
What should thou do for me, dear Lord, What can I do for thee?
What should thou do for me, dear Lord, What can I do for thee?
Lord, I would ask for a year of faith, Give me Thy faith divine,
Taking my full inheritance, Making Thy fullness mine.
Taking my full inheritance, Making Thy fullness mine.
Lord, I would ask for a year of love; Oh, let me love Thee best!
Give me the love that faileth not,
Lord I would ask for a busy year, Filled up with service true;
Doing with all Thy Spirit’s might, All that I find to do.
Lord, I would ask for a year of prayer, Teach me to walk with Thee;
Breathe in my heart Thy Spirit’s breath, Pray Thou, Thy prayer in me.
Lord I would ask for a year of joy, Thy peace, Thy joy divine,
Springing undimmed thru all the days, Whether of shade or shine.
Springing undimmed thru all the days, Whether of shade or shine.
Lord, I would ask for a year of hope, And hastening on that year of years,
That brings us Christ and home. Looking for Thee to come.
That brings us Christ and home. Looking for Thee to come.
