Christ in Song 581
Angry Words! Oh, Let Them Never
1Angry words! oh, let them never From the tongue unbridled slip;
May the heart's best impulse ever Check them e'er they soil the lip.
Refrain"Love one another," Thus saith the Saviour,
Children, obey the Father's blest command: "Love one another," Thus saith the Saviour,
Children, obey His blest command.
2Love is much too pure and holy,
Friendship is too sacred far,
For a moment's reckless folly Thus to desolate and mar.
3Angry words are lightly spoken;
Bitt'rest tho'ts are rashly stirred— Brightest links of life are broken,
By a single angry word.
