Speak Gently to Thy Brother

They say the world is wick­ed

And ev­ery­thing gone wrong;

That men are al­ways faith­less

And none are true and strong.

But oh we must re­mem­ber

That in our fight with sin

If we will help our bro­ther

He may fight through and win.

Speak gent­ly to thy bro­ther

Speak on­ly words of love;

For we must help each oth­er

Until we meet above;

Speak gent­ly

speak gent­ly

Speak on­ly words of love

For we must help each oth­er

Until we meet above.

The world will sure­ly tempt us

To run the sin­ful way;

Our hearts will oft­en draw us

From God and Heav’n away

But then we must re­mem­ber

That if we’re al­ways true

And seek to help each oth­er

That Christ will help us

too.
