Only a little word, softly and kindly melody
Breathed in the ear of the sad and opprest;
Oh, how it tenderly steals like a
Over life's billows, and lulls them to rest!
Only e little word I Only a little word!
Only a little word, whispered in love I
Only a little word, softly and kindly chord again,
Dropped in a heart that is blighted and chilled;
Oh, how its gentle strain tunes every
Waking the echoes that sorrow has stilled!
Only e little word I Only a little word!
Only a little word, whispered in love I
Only a little word, carefully spoken,
Borne to the lost on the desert that roam,
Breaks like the morning light, chasing the dreary night,
Pointing them upward, and leading them home.
Only e little word I Only a little word!
Only a little word, whispered in love I
Only a little word, spoken for Jesus,
Telling His pity, compassion, and love;
Out of the path of sin, thousands may gather in,
Joyful to enter His kingdom above.
Only e little word I Only a little word!
Only a little word, whispered in love I
