Earth giveth unto us
Another year
Miraculous
Her beauty to behold,
New dawns of rose and gold,
New starlights to enfold
Our dreaming sphere.

Love giveth unto us
Another year
Of marvellous
Ointments for weary feet,
A shadow from the heat,
Home welcomes and hearth-sweet
Communion dear.

Christ giveth unto us
Another year
Of burdenous
Tasks blessed for His sake,
World's pity to awake,
To bind up hearts that break
Beside us here.

Hope giveth unto us
Another year
Adventurous
To follow the climbing Good,
By thorn and beast withstood,
To heights of brotherhood,
Through dim to clear.

God giveth unto us
Another year
All luminous
With Him, our shining Source,
Divine, redeeming Force,
Of life's bewildered course
Still charioteer.
