Kind words, kind words, O who can tell
The won­ders of your ma­gic spell;
Like lov­ing angels, pure and bright,
Ye breathe a mes­sage of de­light.

Refrain

Living, dy­ing, kind words be
Earth’s good an­gels, help­ing me.

Kind words, kind words, when hearts are light,
We need you still to keep them bright;
Ye give to ev­ery joy a glow
Like sun­light spark­ling on the snow.

Refrain

Kind words, kind words, in time of grief,
Ye come with speed to our re­lief,
And tho’ ye may not ban­ish care,
Ye help the strick­en heart to bear.

Refrain

Kind words, kind words, so sweet to hear,
O bless the wide world, far and near;
In spok­en thought, or ho­ly song,
Go and re­deem the world from wrong.
