Another year did not last Hopes that lived have now passed Another year has gone by A few "hello"s and "goodbye"s Aging treads a slow pace In a blink I'm old-faced As the winter brings cold And makes heavy this world On this darkest night Atop the tree set lights We will sing out loud Christ has risen now On this darkest night sing To the friend and true king And in some ways we've changed But our sins still remain Your forgiveness brings warmth For auld lang syne sing once more On this darkest night Atop the tree set lights We will sing out loud Christ has risen now On this darkest night sing To the friend and true king
