| The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and His word was in my tongue. (2 Sam. 23:2) |
| The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary. (Isa. 50:4) |
| A word spoken in due season, how good is it! (Prov. 15:23) |
A little word in kindness spoken, A motion or a tear, Has often healed the heart that’s broken, And made a friend sincere. |
Then deem it not an idle thing, A pleasant word to speak; The face you wear, the thoughts you bring, A heart may heal or break. |
