1 Angry words! O let them never
From the tongue unbridled slip;
May the heart's best impulse ever
Check them ere they soil the lip.
Refrain:
"Love one another," ("Love each other,)
thus saith the Savior; (love each other;")
Children, obey the Father's blest command; ('Tis the Father's blest command;)
"Love one another," ("Love each other,)
thus saith the Savior; (love each other;")
Children, obey the blest command. ('Tis the blest command.)
2 Love is much too pure and holy,
Friendship is too sacred far,
For a moment's reckless folly
Thus to desolate and mar. [Refrain]
3 Angry words are lightly spoken
Bitt'rest thoughts are rashly stirred,
Brightest links of life are broken
By a single angry word. [Refrain]
