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] Used With Tune: [Good will to men, the angels sang] Text Sources: Good Will, by T. M. Towne and Jairus M. Stillman (Chicago: Fleming H. Revell Company, 1878)
