For New Year’s Day on the days of Christmas we return to Mary and her faithfulness in receiving the blessing God bestowed upon her.
Mary’s Arms by Sandra McCracken.

1.
From the skies above the shepherd’s field
To the rolling moonlit hills
Come and see the signs, the evidence
Of the mercy now revealed
Here the baby rests in tender form
Helpless to survive alone
Here the King, the Savior Christ is born
With a manger for His throne
Refrain.
Now is the time
Songs fill the skies
Redeeming love
A baby child
Resting in Mary’s arms
2.
I will magnify the blessed One
He has done great things for me
Lifted up the lowly from the dust
And set the captives free
Refrain.
Now is the time
Songs fill the skies
Redeeming love
A baby child
Resting in Mary’s arms
Repeat refrain.
Bridge.
He shall become wonderful
He shall become counselor
He shall become mighty God
He shall become Prince of Peace
Repeat bridge.
Expanded refrain.
Now is the time songs fill the skies
Now is the time songs fill the skies
Redeeming love, a baby child
Redeeming love, a baby child
Resting in Mary’s arms

New Year’s Eve (or Hogmanay) falls during the twelve days of Christmas.
A carol that refers directly to the change of year is Deck The Halls With Boughs Of Holly.
I like Kate Rusby’s rendition from 2014’s Angels And Men.
“Fast away the old year passes,
Hail the new, both lads and lasses…”

Blessed New Year everyone.
