A fitly spoken word,
It hath mysterious powers ;
Its far-off echoes shall be heard
Ringing through future hours.
An honest, truthful word,
It has a tongue of flame ;
On wings of wind it flies abroad,
And wins a heavenly fame.
A gentle, gracious word,
Tis music in the heart ;
Thrilling its very inmost cord,
Till tears unbidden start.
Speak thou, then, lovingly,
Out of a Christ-like soul ;
Thy words a blessed balm shall be,
To make the sin-sick whole.
Speak, for the love of God-
Speak, for the love of man ;
The words of truth love sends abroad,
Shall never be in vain.
