Happy New Year (Kurzenknabe)

Merrily ring the joy­ful bells

Sounding so sweet and clear;

Every peal of mu­sic tells

Now is come the hap­py New Year;

Heartily join with glad­some voice

Welcome with roy­al cheer;

Every grate­ful heart re­joice—

It is the glad New Year.Happy New Year

It is the glad New Year.

Merrily ring the joy­ful bells

Cheerily sound the call;

Over the hills

thro’ hid­den dells

Happy

all hail the na­tal morn

It is the glad New Year.

Sound it in tones that mount the sky

Tell it in sol­emn strain;

Swiftly the years are pass­ing by

Pass­ing—ne’er re­turn­ing again;

Graciously God gives us one year more:

Worship Him and ad­ore!

And with a hearty wel­come greet

This hap­py
