Woman to Woman
A New Year
’
s Message
Another year I enter,
It’s 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 loneliness 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!”

The
New Year
God make your year a happy one—
Not by shielding you from all sorrow and pain, but
by strengthening you to meet it if it comes.
Not by making your path easy, but by making you
sturdy enough to tread any path.
Not by taking hardship from you, but by taking all
cowardice and fear from your heart as you
meet hardship.
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine, but by
keeping your face bright even in the shadows.
Not by making your life always pleasant, but by
showing you where man and his cause need
you most by making you zealous to be there
and to help.
Not by keeping you from battle, but by bringing
you off every field more than conqueror
through Christ who loves you.
God make your year a happy one!
