Only a little word,
softly and kindly
Breathed in the ear
of the sad and opprest;
Oh, how it tenderly steals
like a melody
Over life’s billows,
and lulls them to rest!
Only a little word!
Only a little word!
Only a little word,
whispered in love!
Only a little word,
softly and kindly
Dropped in a heart
that is blighted and chilled;
Oh, how its gentle strain tunes
every chord again,
Waking the echoes
that sorrow has stilled!
Only a little word!
Only a little word!
Only a little word,
whispered in love!
Only a little word,
carefully spoken,
Borne to the lost on
the desert that roam,
Breaks like the morning light,
chasing the dreary night,
Pointing them upward,
and leading them home.
Only a little word!
Only a little word!
Only a little word,
whispered in love!
Only a little word,
spoken for Jesus,
Telling His pity, compassion,
and love;
Out of the path of sin,
thousands may gather in,
Joyful to enter His kingdom above.
Only a little word!
Only a little word!
Only a little word,
whispered in love!
