ONLY A LITTLE WORD

Only a little word,
softly and kindly
Breathed in the ear
of the sad and opprest;
Oh, how it tenderly steals
like a melody
Over life’s billows,
and lulls them to rest!

Only a little word!
Only a little word!
Only a little word,
whispered in love!



Only a little word,
softly and kindly
Dropped in a heart
that is blighter and chilled;
Oh, how its gentle strain tunes
every chord again,
Waking the echoes
that sorrow has stilled!

Frances (Fanny) Jane Crosby 1820 - 1915 ( 94 Years )
