Friends as yet to Come

May all the blessings of the world
 Be well within your reach
 And all the days that lie ahead
 Be ones of love and peace
 When the midnight falls upon us
 And the elder year is done
 We'll raise a glass to friends of yore
 And friends as yet to come
 May seasons of good fortunes drift
 And by this time next New Year's
 Eve
 Have you new tales to tell
 Every father every mother
 Every daughter every son
 We'll raise a glass to friends of yore
 And friends as yet to come
 Let sweet forgiveness shower down
 And fill our hearts with light
 Be slow to anger quick to love
 And ever full of life
 Let us sing the songs of providence
 Let us speak in kindred tongues
 And raise a glass to friends of yore
 And friends as yet to come
 And raise a glass to friends of yore
 And friends as yet to come
