People, wave goodbye to the old year

And let us welcome the New Year

With plenty of cheers

Say happy New Year

For while 2016 is going home

Prepare, 2017 is coming home

Hence let’s enjoy the rest of 2016

Hopefully we’ll prosper more in 2017

‘God’s willing’ there may be more love

There may be more world peace

There may be safer living place

For all of God’s people to live

Despite of colour, despite of race

There is space … the world is wide

With places to find and to hide

With faith in God we won’t slide

For He shall plant our feet

Just where He will guide

Come now everyone

Join with me, give thanks

For the coming year 2017

To families, friends, and folks

Openly say Happy New Year

When it comes.
