For 1954 ------------------------ WHAT? * * * * A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION I won't look back- God knows the fruitless efforts, The wasted hours, the sinning, the regrets; I leave them all with Him who blots the record, And mercifully forg1ves- and then forgets. I won't look forward, God sees all the future-- The road that, short or long, will lead me home : And He will face with me its every trial, And bear with me the burdens that may come. But I'll look up into the face of Jesus, For there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled, And there is joy and love and light for darkness, And perfe'ct peace, and every hope fulfilled. • * • * • BEGIN THE NEW YEAR RIGHT RECEIVE NEW LIFE: "If any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new" (Z Cor. 5:17). RECEIVE NEW JOY: "He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praises unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord" (Psa. 40:3). RECEIVE NEW HOPE: "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ" (Tit. 2:13) . * * 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 a 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."
