Auld lang syne

Here’s to my friends, near and wide, both those with whom I’m in constant contact and those with whom contact is infrequent. God has given me the joy of great friends. Reflecting on their noble honor and blessed memory is humbling.

Christ’s peace to you all, my friends.

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And here’s a hand, my trusty friend,
And give a hand o’ thine.
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

“Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.” (Proverbs 27:9)
