Christ in Song 241
Angry Words! Oh, Let Them Never
Words: H. R. PalmerMusic: H. R. Palmer
1An-gry words! oh, let them nev-er From the tongue un-bridled slip; May the heart's best im-pulse ev-er
Check them ere they soil the lip.
RefrainLove one an-oth-er, Love one an-oth-er, Thus saith the Sav-ior, Chil-dren, o-bey;
Love one an-oth-er, Love one an-oth-er, Thus saith the Sav-ior, Chil-dren, o-bey.
2"Love one an-oth-er" thus saith the Sav-ior, Chil-dren, o-bey the gen-tle word;
With its glo-rious shine en-deav-or Ye to walk be-fore the Lord.
3An-gry words are light-ly spo-ken, Bit-ter thoughts are rash-ly stirred, Bright-est links of life are bro-ken
By a sin-gle an-gry word.
