SPEAK KINDLY
Speak kindly, Oh speak kindly
To all who chance to meet
Our Savior said : "the words you speak
You'll surely have to meet."
A hasty unkind word may cut
The wound just like a sword
And when we wound our fellow man
We wound our blessed Lord.
A word once spoken does a work
That cannot be undone
how sad the thought if we have hurt
Our Saviors suffering one
Speak kindly , Oh speak kindly
That you may not regret
The speaking of an angry word
Now please do not forget!
