New Year’s Greeting

Another va­ried year has passed

With all its joy and pain

And God our Fa­ther keeps us still

And lets us meet again.

We’re hap­py

friends to meet you

With joy­ful songs we greet you

And pray that God may bless you

With a hap­py

glad New Year.

O may the year for­ev­er flown

To each a les­son be—

That this

the glad new year to come

May from its faults be free.

And when life’s chang­ing year is o’er

If we’ve been tru­ly good

We’ll meet up­on that gold­en shore

All saved through Je­sus’ blood.
