- 1Angry words! O let them neverFrom the tongue unbridled slip;May the heart’s best impulse everCheck them ere they soil the lip.“Love one another,”(Love each other,) thus saith the Savior;(love each other,)Children obey the Father’s blest command.(‘tis the Father’s blest command.)“Love one another,”(Love each other,) thus saith the Savior;(love each other,)Children obey His blest command.
- 2Love is much too pure and holy,Friendship is too sacred far,For a moment’s reckless follyThus to desolate and mar.“Love one another,”(Love each other,) thus saith the Savior;(love each other,)Children obey the Father’s blest command.(‘tis the Father’s blest command.)“Love one another,”(Love each other,) thus saith the Savior;(love each other,)Children obey His blest command.
- 3Angry words are lightly spoken,Bitt’rest tho’ts are rashly stirred,Brightest links of life are broken,By a single angry word.“Love one another,”(Love each other,) thus saith the Savior;(love each other,)Children obey the Father’s blest command.(‘tis the Father’s blest command.)“Love one another,”(Love each other,) thus saith the Savior;(love each other,)Children obey His blest command.
