1. Kind words can never die,
Cherish’d and blest,
God knows how deep they lie,
Stor’d in the breast:
Like childhood’s simple rhymes,
Said o’er a thousand times
Ay, in all years and climes,
Distant and near.
Refrain 1:
Kind words can never die,
Never die, never die,
Kind words can never die,
No, never die.
2. Sweet tho’ts can never die,
Tho’ like the flow’rs,
Their brightest hues may fly
In wintry hours.
But when the gentle dew
Gives them their charms anew,
With many an added hue
They bloom again.
Refrain 2:
Sweet tho’ts can never die,
Never die, never die,
Sweet tho’ts can never die,
No, never die.
3. Our souls can never die,
Tho’ in the tomb
We may all have to lie,
Wrapp’d in its gloom.
What tho’ the flesh decay,
Souls pass in peace away,
Live thro’ eternal day
With Christ above.
Refrain 3:
Our souls can never die,
Never die, never die,
Our souls can never die,
No, never die.
