Oh, what pain and sorrow, bitterness and woe,
Evil speaking causeth in this world below;
Loving hearts are broken, dearest hopes destroyed
In their beauty blighted by the thoughtless word.
Ye, who love the Savior and would win His smile,
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from guile;
He will ever help you, if His aid you seek,
Whatsoever betideth, lovingly to speak.
Oh, remember, Jesus every word doth hear,
By His Holy Spirit He is ever near;
Think how much He suffered ere you wound Him more,
When the world's reviling for your sake He bore.
Ye, who love the Savior and would win His smile,
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from guile;
He will ever help you, if His aid you seek,
Whatsoever betideth, lovingly to speak.
Love that thinks no evil, dwelling in the heart,
By His Holy Spirit He is life impart;
Then each tho't and action by its power controlled
Word unkind, 'twill prompt us carefully withhold.
Ye, who love the Savior and would win His smile,
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from guile;
He will ever help you, if His aid you seek,
Whatsoever betideth, lovingly to speak.
Make your life a blessing, follow after peace,
Patiently pursue it from all evil cease;
Scattering deeds of kindness speaking words of love,
Thus the pathway brighten to your home above.
Ye, who love the Savior and would win His smile,
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from guile;
He will ever help you, if His aid you seek,
Whatsoever betideth, lovingly to speak.
