Angry Words (Love One Another)

([ANGRY WORDS! O LET THEM NEVER])
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 one another,"
thus saith the Savior;
Children, obey the 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:
"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.

3.

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

Refrain:
"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.
