A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: NEW MERCIES, NEW BLESSINGS, NEW LIGHT ON THE WAY
Last Line: ALL THIS BE THE JOY OF THY NEW LIFE IN CHRIST!
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; NEW YEAR;

NEW mercies, new blessings, new light on thy way;
New courage, new hope, and new strength for each day;
New notes of thanksgiving, new chords of delight,
New praise in the morning, new songs in the night;
New wine in thy chalice, new altars to raise;
New fruits for thy Master, new garments of praise;
New gifts from His treasures, new smiles from His face;
New streams from the Fountain of infinite grace;
New stars for thy crown, and new tokens of love;
New gleams of the glory that waits thee above;
New light of His countenance full and unpriced;
All this be the joy of thy new life in Christ!
