Congratulations (happy New Year) Lyrics

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
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
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
