3. Kind Words--Earth's Good Angels

1 Kind words, kind words, O, who can tell
The wonders of your magic spell;
Like loving angels, pure and bright,
Ye breathe a message of delight. [Chorus]

Chorus:
Living, dying, kind words be
Earth's good angels, helping me.
Living, dying, kind words be
Earth's good angels, helping me.

2 Kind words, kind words, when hearts are light,
We need you still to keep them bright;
Ye give to every joy a glow,
Like sunlight sparkling on the snow. [Chorus]

3 Kind words, kind words in time of grief,
Ye come with speed to our relief,
And tho' ye may not banish care,
Ye help the stricken heart to bear. [Chorus]

4 Kind words, kind words, so sweet to hear,
O, bless the wide world, far and near;
In spoken thought, or holy song,
Go and redeem the world from wrong. [Chorus]
