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, Go through all years and climes, the heart to cheer.
Refrain 1: Kind words can never die, never die, never die; Kind words can never die, no, never die.
Sweet thoughts can never die, though, 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 thoughts can never die, never die, never die; Sweet thoughts can never die, no, never die.
Our souls can never die, though in the tomb We all may have to lie, wrapped in its gloom; What though the flesh decay, souls pass in peace away, Live though eternal day, with Christ above.
Refrain 3: Our souls can never die, never die, never die; Our souls can never die, no, never die.
