1 Another varied year has passed,
With all its joy and pain,
And God our Father keeps us still,
And lets us meet again.

Refrain:
We’re happy, friends to meet you,
With joyful songs we greet you,
And pray that God may bless you,
With a happy, glad New Year.

2 O may the year forever flown
To each a lesson be—
That this, the glad new year to come
May from its faults be free. [Refrain]

3 And when life’s changing year is o’er,
If we’ve been truly good,
We’ll meet upon that golden shore
All saved through Jesus’ blood. [Refrain]
