1 Little words of kindness,
Whispered soft and low,
With a thrill of gladness,
To the heart they go,
Lighting up its darkness,
With a cheering ray,
Changing heavy sadness
To the light of day.
2 Little words of kindness,
Lo, a work of love,
God's own hand records them,
In the world above;
They, whose words of pity
Dry the mourner's tears,
Have the Savior's blessing
Thro' their earthly years.
3 Little words of kindness
Seem of little worth,
Yet we cannot buy them
With the gold of earth;
Scatter, then, like sunbeams,
Many a word of love,
And the Lord of heaven
Bless you from above.
