Friends as yet to Come Lyrics

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
