Love Is Kind

lyricist: Henry Burton, 1888
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

Have you had a kind­ness shown?

Kindness show;

’Twas not giv’n for you alone

Love be­stow;

Let it tra­vel down the years

Let it wipe ano­ther’s tears

Till in Heav’n the deed ap­pears

White as snow

white as snow.

White as snow

white as snow

Cheerful word or lov­ing deed

White as snow;

Live for self

you live in vain

Live for Christ

you live again;

Live for Him

with Him you reign

White as snow

white as snow.

Did you hear the lov­ing word?

Send it forth;

Like the sing­ing of a bird?

Send it forth!

Let its mu­sic live and grow

Let it cheer ano­ther’s woe;

You have reaped what oth­ers sow;

Send it forth! send it forth!

Have you found the heav’n­ly light?

Let it shine;

Souls are grop­ing in the night

Let it shine!

Hold your light­ed lamp on high

Be a star in some­one’s sky;

He may live who else would die

Let it shine

let it shine.
