The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#86

86. Kind words can never die

1 Kind words can never die:
Heaven gave them birth;
Wing'd with a smile, they fly
All o'er the earth.
Kind words the angels brought,
Kind words our Saviour taught,--
Sweet melodies of thought!
Who knows their worth?

Chorus:
Kind words can never die, never die, never die;
Kind words can never die, no! never die.

2 Kind deeds can never die:
Though weak and small,
From his bright throne on high
God sees them all;
He doth reward with love
All those who faithful prove;
Round them, where'er they move,
Rich blessings fall. [Chorus]

3 God's word can never die;
Though fallen man
Oft dares its truth deny,--
Dares it is vain.
God's word alone is pure;
His promises are sure;
Treat him, and rest secure
Heaven you shall gain. [Chorus]

4 Our souls can never die:
God's word we trust;
He to our bodies said,
"Dust unto dust."
Saviour, our souls prepare
Thy happy home to share;
Us to thy mansions bear,
When life is past. [Chorus]
