Angry Words

Angry words! O let them never
From the tongue unbridled slip
May the heart’s best impulse ever
Check them ere they soil the lip
Love one another thus saith the Savior
Children obey the Father’s blest command
Love each other, love each other
’Tis the Father’s blest command
Love is much too pure and holy
Friendship is too sacred far
For a moment’s reckless folly
Thus to desolate and mar
Angry words are lightly spoken
Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirred
Brightest links of life are broken
By a single angry word
