We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
Acts 4:20
Words & Music: Edward C. Avis, in The Junior League Songster, edited by Stephen V. Ford (New York: Hunt & Eaton, 1891) (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a good photo of Avis (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
Tell what the Lord has done for you,
Speak just a word, speak just a word;
Stand for the right, be brave and true,
Speak just a word for Jesus.
Refrain
Speak just a word, speak just a word,
Gladly His love proclaim;
Tell what the Lord has done for you,
Speak just a word for Jesus.
Early begin to bear the cross,
Speak just a word, speak just a word;
They who deny Him suffer loss,
Speak just a word for Jesus.
Refrain
Tell if the Lord has cleansed your sin,
Speak just a word, speak just a word;
It may to Him some others win,
Speak just a word for Jesus.
Refrain
Fear not the world, nor heed its frown,
Speak just a word, speak just a word;
They who endure shall wear the crown,
Speak just a word for Jesus.
Refrain
