CROWN the year with Thy goodness, Lord! And make every hour a gem In the living diadem, That sparkles to Thy praise. Crown the year with Thy grace, O Lord! Be Thy fresh anointings shed On Thy waiting servant's head, Who treads Thy royal ways. Crown the year with Thy glory, Lord! Let the brightness and the glow Of its heavenly overflow Crown Thy beloved's days! STRONG and loving is thy Friend! Trust Him for the untried year! He shall lead thee to the end, Ever gracious, ever near. As the everlasting hills Thou shalt find His faithfulness; As the crystal mountain-rills. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN LISTEN, LORD: A PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRAY by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS WE WHO PRAYED AND WEPT by WENDELL BERRY PRAYERS AND SAYINGS OF THE MAD FARMER by WENDELL BERRY CONSECRATION HYMN by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL I DID THIS FOR THEE!
