1. Angry words, oh, 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 one another,” thus saith the Savior; Children obey His 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.
3. Angry words are lightly spoken, Bitt’rest thoughts are rashly stirred, Brightest links of life are broken By a single angry word.
