16826. One More Year Has Gone

1 One more year has gone!
Joy­ful march­ing on,
We this height have won,
Rest­ing here;
Back a look we cast,
O’er the jour­ney past,
Then we’ll view at last,
The com­ing year.

Refrain:
Teachers, stu­dents,
Ral­ly round our ban­ner,
See its mot­to,
Shin­ing fair and clear;
Onward! Up­ward!
Child­ren sing ho­san­na!
God will lead us thro’
Ano­ther year.

2 Glad we here have come,
Oh, sweet Sab­bath home,
None from thee would roam,
Bless­èd place!
Here our feet have turned,
Here our hearts have burned,
Here our souls have learned
The works of grace. [Refrain]

3 Foward march­ing we
Our bright way would see,
Upward, Lord, to Thee,
Climb­ing still.
Be our guide, we pray—
Ev­ery Sab­bath day;
Teach us, Lord, the way
And Thy dear will. [Refrain]

4 Father, hear our call;
Let Thy bless­ing fall
On Thy child­ren all,
Draw­ing near.
May sweet show­ers of love
Thy dear pre­sence prove
While we on­ward move
Ano­ther year. [Refrain]
