Speak Gently, Speak Gently, O Grieve Not Again
The Hearts That Are Breaking, With Sorrow And Pain;
We Know Not How Bitter The Trials They Share,
We Know Not How Heavy The Burdens They Bear.

Tenderly, Tenderly, Lovingly Speak;
Tell Them Of Jesus, The Lowly And Meek;
Patiently Waiting, He Longs To Receive
All Who Are Willing On Him To Believe.

Speak Gently, Speak Gently, O Pity And Pray
For Those Who In Darkness Have Wandered Away;
A Word Kindly Spoken The Captives May Free;
A Word May Reclaim Them; O Speak It, And See.

Speak Gently, Speak Gently, Wherever You Go,
In Tempest, In Sunshine In Sorrow Or Woe;
Speak Gently, Reposing Your Trust In The Lord,
And Joy Without Measure Will Be Your Reward.
