Sayings in Season

"A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!.... The words of the pure are pleasant words.... The heart of the righteous studieth to answer" (Proverbs 15:23,26,28). "Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you" (1 Peter 3:15).

O how good are words in season!
How a pleasant word can heal!
Hope within us has a reason
That our answers may reveal.

Be ready, then, to answer well
In every situation.
Woo to heaven, warn of hell,
Declaring God's salvation.
