Emmanuel.....God is with us

ASSURANCE FOR THE NEW YEAR

Another year I enter,

Its history unknown.

Oh, how my feet would tremble

To tread its paths alone!

But I have heard a whisper –

I know I shall be blest:

“My presence shall go with you

And I will give you 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 you

And I will give you rest.”                                                 Anon
