Coming, coming, coming
Listen! Perhaps you will hear
Over the snow the bugles blow
To welcome the glad New Year
In the steeple tongues are swinging
There are merry sleigh bells ringing
And the people for joy are singing,
It’s coming, coming near
Flying, sighing, dying,
Going away tonight
Weary and old, its story told,
The year that was full .
Oh, we are sorry it’s leaving
Goodbye has a sound of grieving
But its work is done
God speed its parting flight
Tripping, slipping, skipping,
Like a child on its wings
With never a tear and never a fear
And a light in its laughing face
With hands held out to greet us
With gay little steps to meet us
With sweet eyes that entreat us
The New Year comes to its place
Coming, coming, coming
Promising lovely things
The gold and the gray of the summer day
The winter with fleecy –wings
Promising swift birds glancing
And the pattern of rain drops dancing
And the sun beams arrow lancing
Dear gifts the New Year brings
Coming, coming, coming,
The world is a vision of white
From the powdered eaves to the sere – brown leaves
hidden out of sight
In the steeple tongues are swinging
The bells are merrily ringing
And “happy new year” we are singing
For the old year goes tonight
