Scatter kind words all around you;
Some heart in its sor­row will stay:
And catch­ing the bright beam­ing trea­sures,
Find com­fort for ma­ny a day.

Refrain

Then scat­ter kind words;
They will ne­ver be lost;
Remember your mis­sion be­low;
Scatter kind words,
Scatter kind words,
Wherever, wher­ev­er you go.

Scatter kind words by the way­side,
Nor fancy your la­bor in vain;
They come like the beau­ti­ful sun­light;
They fall and they cheer like the rain.

Refrain

Scatter kind words to the lone­ly,
The friend­less, the weak and op­pressed;
Go scat­ter kind words to the err­ing;
In God shall your la­bor be blest.

Refrain

Scatter kind words all around you;
Perchance, when your mis­sion is o’er,
The seed you have dropped in a mo­ment
May bloom on eter­ni­ty’s shore.
