12440. New Year's Eve

1 New Year is coming, is coming,
Children exultingly cry;
Join in the strain, in the glad refrain,
Swelling the chorus on high.

Refrain:
Happy New Year, happy New Year,
Joy-bells ring loudly, ring loudly and clear.
Happy New Year, happy New Year,
Joy-bells ring loudly and clear.

2 New Year is coming, is coming,
Watchers are meeting to pray;
Watching to welcome the "New Year" in,
As "Old Year" passes away. [Refrain]

3 New Year is coming, is coming,
New Year is coming tonight;
Give of our store to the needy poor,
Fill their sad hearts with delight. [Refrain]

4 New Year is coming, is coming,
New Year is coming tonight;
Lift up your voices and join our song,
Hail the young king with delight; [Refrain]
