Wondrous New Year

We all look for­ward to this new year

Given to us by our dear Lord.

A year for us all to be grow­ing in spir­it and in love

A year for us all to be learn­ing

The things that the Lord will teach.

All things full of love so true

The things He’d have us do.

O what a bless­ing is this new year

Filled with joy and peace for us

Preparing our hearts for the com­ing

Of a won­drous new time.

New glo­ri­ous bells will be ring­ing

Our voic­es sing loud and clear

Spreading love from our Lord and Sav­ior

The One who loves us all.

What a joy­ous time of true peace

Keeping with the pro­phe­cy

Of lov­ing each oth­er we in­crease

And lov­ing hearts ne’er cease.

Angelic re­frains make our hearts new

Filled with such truth di­vine.

Love comes sure­ly from Heav­en

A heal­ing love so sub­lime.
