Angry Words

H. R. Palmer • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 12:36-37

Verse 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.

Chorus

"Love one another," thus saith the Savior; Children, obey the Father's blest command; "Love one another," thus saith the Savior; Children, obey the blest command.

Verse 2

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

Chorus

"Love one another," thus saith the Savior; Children, obey the Father's blest command; "Love one another," thus saith the Savior; Children, obey the blest command.

Verse 3

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

Chorus

"Love one another," thus saith the Savior; Children, obey the Father's blest command; "Love one another," thus saith the Savior; Children, obey the blest command.
