Scatter Kind Words All Around You

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1873
Composer: Howard Doane

Scatter kind words all around you;

Some heart in its sor­row will stay:

And catch­ing the bright beam­ing trea­sures

Find com­fort for ma­ny a day.

Then scat­ter kind words;

They will nev­er be lost;

Remember your mis­sion be­low;

Scatter kind words

Scatter kind words

Wherever

wher­ev­er you go.

Scatter kind words by the way­side

Nor fancy your la­bor in vain;

They come like the beau­ti­ful sun­light;

They fall and they cheer like the rain.

Scatter kind words to the lone­ly

The friend­less

the weak and op­pressed;

Go scat­ter kind words to the err­ing;

In God shall your la­bor be blest.

Scatter kind words all around you;

Perchance

when your mis­sion is o’er

The seed you have dropped in a mo­ment

May bloom on eter­ni­ty’s shore.
