A NEW YEAR GREETING, by                    
First Line: Hark, the new year bells are pealing
Last Line: Start the new year well today!
Subject(s): Greetings; Happiness; Holidays; New Year; Winter; Joy; Delight


Hark, the New Year bells are pealing,
Waves of melody are stealing
Unto reaches far and near;
Like the waves of ocean beating
Once more comes the old-time greeting—
Wishes for a glad New Year.

Where the midnight bells are pealing
Men in prayer are humbly kneeling
With the God of Heaven near;
While He speaks with tender feeling,
To the souls of men revealing
Greetings of good will and cheer.

Hearken, while the bells are ringing
Through the night like Angels winging
From the near and far away;
Think of country, home and Heaven,
Add your prayers unto the leaven,
Start the New Year well today!
