98. Angry Words

1 Angry words! O let them never
From the tongue unbridled slip:
May the heart's best impulse ever
Check them e'er they soil the lip.

Chorus:
"Love one another" Thus saith the Savior,
Children obey your Father's blest command.
"Love one another," Thus saith the Savior,
Children obey His blest command.

2 Love is much to pure and holy;
Friendship is to sacred far,
For a moment's reckless folly
Thus to desolate and mar [Chorus]

3 Angry words are lightly spoken;
Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirred:
Brightest links of life are broken
By a single angry word. [Chorus]
