Kind Words Can Never Die

Composer: Abigail Patton, 1851

Kind words can nev­er die

Cherished and blest;

God knows how deep they lie

Stored in the breast;

Like child­hood’s sim­ple rhymes

Said o’er a thou­sand times

Aye

in all years and climes

Distant and near.

Kind words can nev­er die

Never die

nev­er die;

Kind words can nev­er die

No

nev­er die.

Sweet thoughts 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.

Sweet thoughts can nev­er die

Never die

nev­er die

Sweet thoughts can nev­er die

No

nev­er die.

Our souls can nev­er die

Tho’ in the tomb

We all may have to lie

Wrapped in its gloom.

What tho’ the flesh de­cay

Souls pass in peace away

Live thro’ eter­nal day

With Christ ab­ove.

Our souls can nev­er die

Never die

nev­er die

Our souls can nev­er die

No

nev­er die.
