Classic Poem

O dear little New Year,
All so bright with joy,
Have you any message
For a girl or boy?

Listen, little children,
Down to earth I come,
Bringing you this message,
From your Father's home.

Jesus loves you, children:
Love Him then alway,
Do some willing service
For Him every day.

Ask Him now to help you
At your work and play;
Jesus always listens
When the children pray.

Thus I'll bring you gladness,
If you're good and true;
And you'll find this new year
Will be blest to you.
