WHAT shall I wish thee?

“Treasures of earth?

Songs in the spring-time,

Pleasure and mirth?

Flowers on thy pathway,

Skies ever clear?

Would this ensure thee

A happy new year?

What shall I wish thee?

What can be found,

Bringing thee sunshine

All the year round?

Where is the treasure,

Lasting and dear,

That shall ensure thee

A happy new year?

 Faith that increaseth.

Walking in light,

Hope that aboundeth,

Happy and bright;

Love that is perfect,

Casting out fear:

These shall ensure thee

A happy new year!

Peace in the Savior,

Rest at His feet,

Smile of His countenance

Radiant and sweet;

Joy in His presence!

Christ ever near!

This will ensure thee

A happy new year!
