Ring Out the Old!
Ring in the New!

A ND now we hear the telling bell,
n That sounds the Old Years dying knell,
And safe within the fleeing past
Its good and evil will be cat
To oft return, in future hour,
Brought by retentive nlerrcry's power.
And what the New Year, ere iAs close,
May have in store, no mortal knows.
But if all men were good and true,
And would their Christian duty do,
The world would seem to hear again
"Sweet peace on earth, good will to rnen!"
Then all could shout, the whole world through,
"Rirg out the Oldi Ring in the New!"
Oh, THINK Of those bound down by sorrow,
" Now longing for some glad tomorrow
To tighten up the heavy load,
That they must bear upon lfe's road,
Who journey on from Cay to day,
Along life's cold and rugged way,
Still longing, as they onward tread,
For deeds undone or words unsaid,
Though friendly smile or kindly hand
Two things at every ones command
Would help to soothe the craving pain,
Or break the links of sorrows chain.
So, Christian friends, your duty do
Ring out the Old! Ring in the New!
WITHIN a learned land like this
:" Some think that ignorance is bliss,
While ruthless hands and scheming fools
Make rule or ruin their vicious tools;
With no respect for God or man,
Destructive methods are their plan;
Not using reason for defense,
Resort they to FOOLS violence;
Imaginary wrongs they'd right,
By senseless torch or dynamite.
Oh, rulers of our mighty land,
Check this vile scourge with hrmer handl
Then tranquil peace will come in lieu
Ring out the Old! Ring in the New!
DEAR this in mind, what e'er befall,
II The hand Divine rules over all.
And when we greet the glad New Year,
With all its joy and social cheer,
Let each resolve his best to give,
That this old world may better live.
And as we go but once this way,
Let's shed sweet sunshine's golden ray,
And bring good cheer to hearts bowed down
By adversity's cold, sullen frown.
Then when the sands of life are run,
Well hear the welcome, "Well, we'll done!
Come, reap the joys prepared for you'll"
Ring out the Old! Ring in the New!
