Brown Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: I never will speak a wicked word Refrain First Line: I never will, I never will Lyrics: 1 I never will speak a wicked word-- An oath from my lips shall never be heard; I never will break the Sabbath day, Spending its hours in work or play. I never will dare to disobey My parents, or wrongly have my way; Chorus: I never will, I never will, By God's good help I never will. 2 No anger nor hate I'll keep within, To murder 'twill lead--that dreadful sin; I never will do an impure deed, Or think or say what to vice will lead. I will never take what's not my own, Nor wish for the thing, tho' all alone. [Chorus] 3 I never will tell or act a lie, Forgetting that God is always nigh; I never will do a thing that's wrong. Tho' Satan may tempt me hard and long. I never will shun the thing that's right And holy and just in God's pure sight. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [I never will speak a wicked word]
