It’s time to greet a brand new year,
With lots of dreams and hope.
A year that will bring us good things;
And a decade that’s easy to cope.

May God give us wisdom,
And make us good and kind.
So that we help each other;
When someone in trouble we find.

May the year be good for nature,
And for beings big and small.
Let trees, animals and birds;
Enjoy their own windfall.

May the year bring purity,
On land, water and air.
May each mind and heart;
Learn to be truly fair.

May God shower happiness,
On our good young Earth.
And may its denizens enjoy;
A decade of bliss and mirth.
