A Happy New Year.
A happy New Year! Oh such may it be!
Joyously, surely, and fully for thee!
Fear not and faint not, but be of good cheer,
And trustfully enter thy happy New Year!
Joyously, surely, and fully for thee!
Fear not and faint not, but be of good cheer,
And trustfully enter thy happy New Year!
Happy, so happy! Thy Father shall guide,
Protect thee, preserve thee, and always provide!
Onward and upward along the right way
Lovingly leading thee day by day.
Protect thee, preserve thee, and always provide!
Onward and upward along the right way
Lovingly leading thee day by day.
Happy, so happy! Thy Saviour shall be
Ever more precious and present with thee!
Happy, so happy! His Spirit thy Guest,
Filling with glory the place of His rest.
Ever more precious and present with thee!
Happy, so happy! His Spirit thy Guest,
Filling with glory the place of His rest.

Happy, so happy! Though shadows around
May gather and darken, they flee at the sound
Of the glorious Voice that saith, ‘Be of good cheer!’
Then joyously enter thy happy New Year!
May gather and darken, they flee at the sound
Of the glorious Voice that saith, ‘Be of good cheer!’
Then joyously enter thy happy New Year!
