15342. The Glad New Year

1 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.

2 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]

3 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]

4 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]
