Angry words! O let them never
From the tongue unbridled slip;
May the love of Jesus ever
Fill the heart and keep the lip.
Chorus:
Love one another, thus said the Savior;
Children, obey the Father’s blest command.
Love one another, thus said the Savior;
Children, obey His blest command.
Angry words, though lightly spoken,
Do not suit the child of God,
Happy fellowship is broken
By a single angry word.
Love is much too pure and holy,
Christian bonds too sacred far,
For a moment’s reckless folly
Thus to desolate and mar.
