Merry
THE NEW YEAR..
MERRY time is the New Year's time,
When the snow lies white and still
Over the meadows and valleys fair,
And over the sloping hills;
When the sound of sleigh-bells fills the air,—
A cheering sound to hear,—
And voices of friends with greeting kind,
To welcome the glad New Year.
A precious time is the New Year's time,
As we count our treasures o'er,—
Blessings our Father in mercy sends
From his exhaustless store;
Blessings and comforts we cannot count,
He sendeth us far and near;
Then gratefully, children, thank the Lord,
As you welcome the glad New Year.
