Ring Out the Old, Ring in the New 

Ring out the old, ring in the new, 
Ring happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go; 
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out a slowly dying cause, 
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life, 
With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand
Ring out the darkness of the land, 
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

Written in the 1800's...

Still true today.
