O’ Dear Lord, I look up to you
With hope in my heart
As another year begins new
May this be a good start.
May there be more smiles
Days filled with laughter
And even as we cross hurdles
May we only emerge stronger.
May this be a year to revive
Those sweet nothings lying buried
Waiting so long to spring alive
Only to be enjoyed and treasured.
May we do all we can
To spread joy and good cheer
May we love, give and learn
Look within, listen and share.
O’ Dear Lord, today I pray to thee
For happiness in measures full
Bless us with health, peace, unity
And a year that’s truly wonderful!
