Love's key

Just to be tender, just to be true

Published in 2 hymnals


Representative Text

1. Just to be tender, Just to be true, Just to be glad the whole day through. Just to be merciful, Just to be mild, Just to be trustful as a child. Chorus: Just to let love be our daily key, This is God's will for you and me. 2. Just to be gentle and kind and sweet, Just to be helpful with willing feet; Just to be cheery when things go wrong, Just to drive sadness away with song (Chorus) 3. Whether the hour be dark or bright; Just to be loyal to God and right. Ever to stand temptations test Just in His promises to rest. (Chorus)
