Speak Loving Words

Add to Starred Hymns

Representative Text

1 Speak loving words to waiting souls,
Speak words of hope and cheer;
Lift up the spirit bowed with care,
Wipe away the mourner’s tear.

Refrain:
Speak loving words, speak kindly words,
Speak words of hope and cheer,
Lift up the spirit bowed with care,
Wipe away the mourner’s tear.

2 Speak loving words though sinners fail
The path of life to find;
Point to the way that upward leads,
Speak words both true and kind. [Refrain]

3 Speak loving words, for soon thou’lt be
Pale, silent and unknown;
And loving words alone will tell
The good that thou hast done. [Refrain]
