Kind Words Are Always Best

Verse 1

Oh, speak kind words where'er you be, As thro' this world you go, Let kindly deeds beside your path Like flow'rs of beauty grow; The fragrance of a loving word Will linger in the heart, As sweetness haunts the flow'rs we prize When summer days depart.

Chorus

Kind words are always best, Kind words are always best; You will find, where'er you go, Kind words are always best.

Verse 2

Yes, speak kind words in ev'ry place, Although you do not know The good your loving words may do To those who need them so; For God will know and surely he In his good time and way, The giver of a helpful word Will royally repay.

Verse 3

Then, speak kind words whate'er you do; Too brief is human life To waste the hours as they go by In discord and in strife; Give one and all a loving word Just put them to the test, And you will find in ev'ry place Kind words are always best.
