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]

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

Palmer, Horatio Richmond, MUS. DOC, was born April 26, 1834. He is the author of several works on the theory of music; and the editor of some musical editions of hymnbooks.

His publications include Songs of Love for the Bible School; and Book of Anthems, the combined sale of which has exceeded one million copies.
