117. A New Year's Greeting

1 With joyful songs and happy cheer,
We gladly hail the bright New Year,
Our hearts are filled with grateful love
For all God’s blessings from above.

Refrain:
Thanks be to Him we love so dear,
For giving us this bright New Year,
To One and All in song we bear,
A New Year’s greeting every where.

2 All things renew their growth and worth
Touched by the hand that gave them birth
The hand, that freely doth provide
For living nations far and wide. [Refrain]

3 Let us renew our thoughts and deeds,
And plant afresh our little seeds,
Replenishing from God’s great store
The human heart forevermore. [Refrain]

4 Let every heart respond in praise,
And voices blend in grateful lays,
To God for His unchanging love
And for His blessings from above. [Refrain]
