New Year’s Wishes.
Bv M. M. Lichtcap.
1 wish it may b* mine to brine
Some comfort to the sorrowing,
® orae ,one Iy heart to cheer.
From some path may I pluck a thorn
And make some trouble easier borne
This Coming year
I wish from failures past to learn—
Let me no bitter lesson spurn,
But firmly persevere.
Let me possess sweet charity,
Long-suffering, patient, let me be
This coming year.
I wish my talents to improve,
To use them for the friends I lore
With tenderness sincere.
1 wish life's burdens to help bear
For power to drive away dull care.
This corning year.
I wish to bid some soul to flee
And sec the refuge found in Thee
From sin and doubt and fear.
I wish that 1 may point the way
To some on“ groping for the day,
This coming year.
1 wish a useful life to live
And my best services to Christ to give.
To ever find Him near.
But should some other lot be mine,
I wish I never may repine
This coming year.
