“Happy new year and happy new you!”

Hey you, wake up to a brand new day,

New mercies are here,

Happy new year and happy new you!

Rise up, rise up and shake off

The yesteryears’ dust,

Happy new year and happy new you!

Do you hear the new sound of hope

Thumpin’ at your soul’s door?

Happy new year and happy new you!

Strengthen weak hands and feeble knees;

And march into new boundaries,

Happy new year and happy new you!

On the threshold of a new age

Recognize you’re the essence of heaven here and say:

Happy new year and happy new you!

Happy new year and happy new you

Means in all you do stay joyful and true!
