p. B-11
Angry Words! Oh, Let Them Never
Angry Words! Oh, Let Them Never
1. Angry words! oh, let them neverFrom the tongue unbridled slip;May the heart’s best impulse everCheck them ere thy soil the lip.
“Love one another,” thus saith the Savior,children obey the Father’s blest command:“Love one another,” thus saith the Savior,children obey His blest command.
2. Love is much to pure and holy,Friendship is too sacred far,For a moment’s reckless follyThus to desolate and mar.
“Love one another,” thus saith the Savior,children obey the Father’s blest command:“Love one another,” thus saith the Savior,children obey His blest command.
3. Angry words are lightly spoken;Bitt’rest tho’ts are rashly stirred—Brightest links of life are broken,By a single angry word.
“Love one another,” thus saith the Savior,children obey the Father’s blest command:“Love one another,” thus saith the Savior,children obey His blest command.
