Angry Words! Oh, Let Them Never

Angry words! Oh, let them never,
From the tongue unbridled slip;
May the heart’s best impulse ever,
Check them e’er they soil the slip.



[CHORUS]
“Love one another,” Thus saith the Saviour,
(Love each other) (Love each other)
Children, obey the Father’s blest command;
(‘Tis the Father’s blest command)
“Love one another,” Thus saith the Saviour
(Love each other) (Love each other)
Children, obey his blest command
(“Tis his blest command)



Love is much too pure and holy,
Friendship is too sacred far;
For a moment’s reckless folly,
Thus to desolate and mar.



Angry words are lightly spoken,
Bitt’rest thoughts are rashly stired;
Brightest links of life are broken,
By a single angry word.
