New Year is com­ing, is com­ing,
Children ex­ult­ing­ly cry;
Join in the strain, in the glad re­frain,
Swelling the chor­us on high.

Refrain

Happy New Year, hap­py New Year,
Joy-bells ring loud­ly, ring loud­ly and clear.
Happy New Year, hap­py New Year,
Joy-bells ring loud­ly and clear.

New Year is com­ing, is com­ing,
Watchers are meet­ing to pray;
Watching to wel­come the New Year in,
As Old Year pass­es away.

Refrain

New Year is com­ing, is com­ing,
New Year is com­ing to­night;
Give of our store to the nee­dy poor,
Fill their sad hearts with de­light.

Refrain

New Year is com­ing, is com­ing,
New Year is com­ing to­night;
Lift up your voic­es and join our song,
Hail the young king with de­light;
