Angry Words

Author: Horatio Richmond Palmer Appears in 129 hymnals First Line: Angry words! O let them never Refrain First Line: Love one another thus saith the Savior Lyrics: 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 thus saith the Savior, Children obey the Father’s blest command, Love each other, love each other, ’Tis the Father’s 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, Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirred, Brightest links of life are broken, By a single angry word. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Angry words! O let them never]

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Angry Words" in Our Song Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
