Genesis 1:14Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.

Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
Sing we our closing chorus;
Peace and good will follow us still,
Mercy is watching o’er us.
Refrain
Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
Parting from one another,
Savior we pray, brighten our way;
Lead us, dear elder Brother.
Curtains of night veil from our sight
Every unknown tomorrow;
Heavenly Friend, guard and defend,
Keep us from sin and sorrow.
Refrain
Happy New Year! Jesus is near,
This is the hope before us;
He will provide, save us and guide;
Joyful our closing chorus.
