106. Good Cheer!

1 Good cheer, good cheer!
For a happy New Year
Is brightly smiling before us;
Let mercy bells ring,
Let happy hearts sing,
Good cheer, good cheer is the chorus.
A down the past,
One look we cast,
For friends and fancies olden;
Then forward glance,
And dream, perchance,
Of future days more golden.
Good cheer, good cheer!
For a happy New Year
Is brightly smiling before us,
Let merry bells ring,
Let happy hearts sing,
Good cheer, good cheer is the chorus.
Good cheer, good cheer!
For the glad and happy New Year!
Good cheer, good cheer!
For the glad and happy New Year.

2 Good cheer, good cheer!
For a happy New Year
Is brightly smiling before us;
Let merry bells ring,
Let happy hearts sing,
Good cheer, good cheer is the chorus.
In future years,
From smiles and tears,
Our lives shall luster gather,
And come what may,
We'll always say,
"Thy will be done, our Father."
Good cheer, good cheer!
For a happy New Year
Is brightly smiling before us,
Let merry bells ring,
Let happy hearts sing,
Good cheer, good cheer is the chorus.
Good cheer, good cheer!
For the glad and happy New Year!
Good cheer, good cheer!
For the glad and happy New Year.
Good cheer, good cheer, good cheer, good cheer, good cheer!
