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.
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.
Verse 3
Angry words are lightly spoken, Bitterest 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 His blest command.
