For strength of your hand that is loving and giving
And a happy new year with love overflowing
With joy in our hearts for the blessed new year

Raise your glass and we'll have a cheer
For us all who are gathered here
And a happy new year to all that is living
To all that is gentle, kind and forgiving
Raise your glass and we'll have a cheer
My dear acquaintance, a happy new year

All of those who are hither and yonder
With love in our hearts, we grow fonder and fonder
Hail to those who we hold so dear
And hail to those who are gathered here

And a happy new year to all that is living
To all that is gentle, young and forgiving
Raise your glass and we'll have a cheer
My dear acquaintance, a happy new year, happy new year

For strength of your hand that is loving and giving
And a happy new year with love overflowing
