Speak words of hope and cheer;
Lift up the spirit bowed with care,
Wipe away the mourner’s tear.
Refrain:
Speak loving words, speak kindly words,
Speak words of hope and cheer,
Lift up the spirit bowed with care,
Wipe away the mourner’s tear.
2 Speak loving words though sinners fail
The path of life to find;
Point to the way that upward leads,
Speak words both true and kind. [Refrain]
3 Speak loving words, for soon thou’lt be
Pale, silent and unknown;
And loving words alone will tell
The good that thou hast done. [Refrain] Used With Tune: VAGHARSHAPAT Text Sources: Crown of Gold by William T. Giffe and Frank M. Davis (Logansport,Ind: Home Music Company, 1892)
