  THE angels open the windows wide In the world so far above us, Lo, all about us, on every side, Falls the newborn year unstained, untried, O, angel hearts that love us! Ye take our yesterdays dim and old, Touched with sorrow and sinning, And ye give to us with a grace untold The year’s soft dew and the dawn of gold, Ye give us the fresh beginning. Unstained the new year falls at our feet From the world so far above us, And what it will bring of joy complete, Or take of treasures tender and sweet, Ye know, O hearts that love us!
