1 Ringing, ringing,
Voices soft and clear,
Welcome bringing
To the glad New Year.

Refrain:
This glad New Year,
When friends so dear
Are clustering round our way;
The glad New Year,
With festive cheer,
We celebrate today.
Ringing, ringing,
Voices soft and clear,
Welcome bringing
To the glad New Year.

2 Falling, falling,
For the old a tear;
Smiling, greeting,
To the glad New Year. [Refrain]

3 Winging, winging,
Silently to Heav’n,
May its moments
All to God be giv’n. [Refrain]

4 When the seasons
Cease to mark His love,
May we praise Him
Evermore above. [Refrain]
