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 him 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 o'er life's rough path you go,
If God's love has saved and kept you,
Do not fail to tell men so!
