If you hear a kind word spoken
   Of some worthy soul you know,
It may fill his heart with sunshine
   If you only tell him so.

If a deed however humble
   Helps you on your way to go,
Seek the one whose hand has helped you,
   Seek out and tell him so!
If your heart is touched and tender
   Toward a sinner, lost and low,
It might help him to do better
   If you'd only tell him so!

Oh, my sisters, oh, my brothers,
   As over life's rough paths you go,
If great love has saved and kept you,
   Do not fail to tell them so!
