79. Kind words are never lost

1 Kind words are never lost,
Though years may fly,
While on life's billows tossed,
'Mid danger nigh,
In mem'ry loved so well,
Who can their value tell?
Their echoes still will dwell
Deep in the heart.

Chorus:
Kind words are never lost,
Never lost, never lost
Kind words are never lost,
No, never lost.

2 Kind smiles are never lost,
But cherished yet,
The hearts they gladdened most
Will not forget;
Through mists of weary years,
Oft dimmed by falling tears,
Their radiance still appears
Cheering and bright.

Chorus:
Kind smiles are never lost,
Never lost, never lost
Kind smiles are never lost,
No, never lost.

3 Kind deeds are never lost,
Nor done in vain;
Like seed in spring-time cast
On fertile plains,
Their fruit shall yet appear
Rich harvests full in ear,
And every bud shall bear
A hundred fold.

Chorus:
Kind deeds are never lost,
Never lost, never lost
Kind deeds are never lost,
No, never lost.
