HYMN FOR THE NEW YEAR.
THE WORDS AND MUSIC COMPOSED FOR MERRY’S MUSEUM;
THE LATTER BY GEO. J. WEBB.
Another year is past and gone,
Bearing its wishes, hopes and fears,
As winds, the leaves,—away, away—
To rest with-in this vale of tears.
Another year upon us breaks,
Bringing its budding cares and joys—
And, like a flowery lawn, invites
Us on to pluck its blooming toys.
Yet as the circling seasons pass,
Chasing each other in their flight—
Oh let us not forget that each
Doth on the heart its record write!
And let us all remember well,
That record we must bear above;
Oh may it in the judgment hour
Shine with the heavenly lines of love!
MERRY’S MUSEUM.
