Speak Not Harshly

Author: Fanny Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12760 Meter: 8.7.8.7 First Line: Speak not harshly when reproving Lyrics: 1 Speak not harshly when reproving Those from duty’s path who stray; If we would reclaim the erring Kindness must each action sway. 2 Speak not harshly to the wayward— Win their confidence—their love; They will feel how pure the motive That hath led us to reprove. 3 Speak not harshly to the stranger, Thou he come in humble guise; Think how slight a thing would kindle Gladness in a stranger’s eyes. 4 Speak not harshly to the felon, Though like adamant his heart; Touch one chord of fond affection, And the scalding tear may start. 5 Speak not harshly to the orphan, They have borne of grief their share; Add not to their heavy burden, Add not to corroding care. 6 Speak not harshly, was the precept Which to man the Savior taught— May that precept ever guide us— Gentle words will cost us naught.
