Lyrics
(Music by W.W. Gilchrist, Lyrics by Laura Frost Armitage, adapted by Beth Thompson)
Again you’re here, oh bright New Year,
A welcome song to you we sing,
Our hands we hold for gifts untold,
What precious treasure do you bring?
Again I’m here, oh children dear,
Your gentle hearts I long to bless,
Where’er I find the good and kind,
I freely give true happiness.
