Representative Text

1 Oh, swiftly the moments are flying,
That fill all the hours of our way;
And now they have bro’t you the milestone
That marks your natal day.

Refrain:
While years come and years go,
They roll on as streams flow,
Oh, live them for Jesus He wants them we know,
Sweet years of your life for Him.

2 And now the new year is beginning,
Oh, pledge it anew to the Lord,
And seek to obey His commandments,
As written in his word. [Refrain]

3 We wish for thee brightest of blessings,
That angels your footsteps may guide,
That vict’ry be yours in life’s battles,
And joy with you abide. [Refrain]

4 And should the dear Lord send from heaven,
To bear you away far above;
Be yours thro’ the spaces eternal,
The realm of endless love. [Refrain]
