[What, never speak one evil word]
If any man offend not in word, the same is a, &c.
—iii. 2.
What, never speak one evil word,
Or rash, or idle, or unkind!
O, how shall I, most gracious Lord,
This mark of true perfection find?
Thy sinless mind in me reveal,
Thy Spirit's plenitude impart,
And all my language pure shall tell
The' abundance of a loving heart.
