Another year has passed away,
The new year has begun;
We hope ’twill be a happy year
To each and every one.

Refrain

A glad new year—a bright new year—
Has dawned upon us all;
May richest blessings day by day
Upon us freely fall.

We’ve said to the old year, Goodbye,
Its griefs and joys are past;
We’ll try to make this glad new year
Still better than the last.

Refrain

We’ll seek to bless some burdened life,
Some darkened heart to cheer;
And deeds of kindness we will do
Each day of all the year.

Refrain

We’ll try to point the lost to Him
Who dwells in light above;
Who will forgive if they believe,
And crown them with His love.

Refrain
