Speak lovingly and kindly while here on earth we stay. Our life is but a shadow now that soon shall pass away. Speaking lovingly and kindly, O let the task be ours, to scatter by the way-side paths not thorns, but lovely flowers. Refrain:(Solo, Choir, or Congregation) On little word of kindness on someone's ear may fall like rays of golden sunshine that brightly shines for all Speaking lovingly and kindly, for he our Lord, we know, will show to us the kindness that we to other show.
