16062. Good Will

1 Good will to men, the an­gels sang,
Thro’ out the earth the ech­oes rang.
Good will to men from Heav­en,
Good will to men from Heav­en.

Refrain:
Good will (good will),
Good will (good will),
Good will to men from Heaven;
Good will (good will),
Good will (good will),
Good will to men from Heav­en.

2 Such gift of joy, no heart must keep,
Broadcast the seed, if thou wouldst reap
The har­vest in re­joic­ing,
The har­vest in re­joic­ing. [Refrain]

3 Ring out good will from day to day,
To toil­ing pil­grims by the way,
And speed them on their jour­ney,
And speed them on their jour­ney. [Refrain]

4 The hearts that fill will ov­er­flow,
And scat­ter joy wher­ev­er they go.
Good will and glad­some greet­ing,
Good will and glad­some greet­ing. [Refrain]

5 And when, at last, the jour­ney done,
The dan­ger past, the vic­to­ry won,
We’ll join the an­gel chor­us,
We join the an­gel chor­us. [Refrain]
