| lyric | 1. The old year now away is fled,
the new year it is entered,
then let us now our sins down thread,
and joyfully all appear.
Let’s merry be this day
and let us now both sport and play.
Hang griev, cast care waway,
God send you happy new year.
2. An now with New Year’s gifts each friend
unto each other do they send.
God grant we may all our lives
amend, and that the thruth may appear. |
