Appears in 53 hymnals Matching Instances: 53 First Line: Words are things of little cost Lyrics: 1. Words are things of little cost,
Quickly spoken, quickly lost;
We forget them, but they stand
Witnesses at God's right hand,
And their testimony bear
For us or against us there.
2. Oh, how often ours have been
Idle words and words of sin!
Words of anger, scorn, or pride,
Or deceit, our faults to hide,
Envious tales, or strife unkind,
Leaving bitter thoughts behind.
3. Grant us, Lord, from day to day,
Strength to watch and grace to pray:
May our lips from sin kept free,
Love to speak and sing of Thee;
Till in heav'n we learn to raise
Hymns of everlasting praise. Topics: Living His Life Kind Words Used With Tune: SPANISH HYMN

John George Fleet
b. 1818 Person Name: John G. Fleet Author of "Guard Thy Lips" in The Cyber Hymnal Fleet, John George, was born in London on the 8th of July, 1818. At 15 years of age he was removed from school to his father's counting-house, and at 17 he had to undertake, through his father's death, the sole control of the business, and from that time he followed commercial pursuits. At an early age he joined as teacher in a small Sunday School which his sister had begun in Lime Street, London. His interest in Sunday Schools which was thus awakened led him, with some young fellow-teachers, to found the Church Sunday School Institute in 1843. Of that Institute he was honorary Secretary for 20 years; and for 15 years he was Editor of the Church Sunday School Quarterly.
To the hymn-book published by the Institute, The Church Sunday School Hymn Book, 1848, he contributed the following hymns by which he is known to hymnology:—
1. How faint and feeble is the praise. Angels' Worship.
2. Let children to their God draw near. Children's Worship.
3. 0 Lord, our God, Thy wondrous might. Collect 7th S. after Trinity.
4. Source of life, and light, and love. A Teacher's Prayer.
5. What mercies, Lord, Thou hast in store. Collect for 6th S. after Trinity.
6. Words are things of little cost. Sins of the Tongue.
In addition to these hymns, Mr. Fleet contributed several to The Church Sunday School Quarterly in 1852-3-8, and 1861, and has published a small volume of poems and hymns entitled Lux in Tenebris, 1873.
