Speak gently, speak gently;
Oh, grieve not again
The hearts that are breaking,
with sorrow and pain;
We know not how bitter
the trials they share,
We know not how heavy
the burdens they bear.
Tenderly, tenderly,
lovingly speak;
Tell them of Jesus,
the lowly and meek;
Patiently waiting,
He longs to receive
All who are willing
on Him to believe.
Speak gently, speak gently;
oh, pity and pray
For those who in darkness
have wandered away;
A word kindly spoken
the captives may free;
A word may reclaim them—
oh, speak it, and see!
Tenderly, tenderly,
lovingly speak;
Tell them of Jesus,
the lowly and meek;
Patiently waiting,
He longs to receive
All who are willing
on Him to believe.
Speak gently, speak gently;
wherever you go,
In tempest, in sunshine
in sorrow or woe;
Speak gently, reposing
your trust in the Lord,
And joy without measure
will be your reward.
Tenderly, tenderly,
lovingly speak;
Tell them of Jesus,
the lowly and meek;
Patiently waiting,
He longs to receive
All who are willing
on Him to believe.
