1 Has a kindly tho’t been yours,
Pass it on;
Others joy thro’ it secures,
Pass it on;
Many hearts in loneliness,
Long for sympathy’s caress,
Hearts that kindly tho’ts may bless,
Pass it on.

Refrain:
Pass it on, this kindly thought,
Pass it on to other hearts;
Other sorrows it may feel,
Other wounded hearts may heal.

2 Have you had a loving word,
Pass it on;
‘Twas but spoken for your good,
Pass it on;
Other sorrows it may feel,
Other wounded hearts may heal,
Other vows to Christ reveal,
Pass it on. [Refrain]

3 If you have a kindness shown,
Pass it on;
‘Twas not giv’n for you alone,
Pass it on;
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another’s tears,
Till in heaven the deed appears,
Pass it on. [Refrain]
