How sweet, how heavenly is the sight,
When those that love the Lord
In one another’s peace delight,
And so fulfil His Word!
When each can feel his brother’s sigh
And with him bear a part!
When sorrow flows from eye to eye,
And joy from heart to heart!
When, free from envy, scorn, and pride,
Our wishes all above,
Each can his brother’s failings hide,
And show a brother’s love!
When love, in one delightful stream,
Through every bosom flows,
When union sweet, and dear esteem,
In every action glows.
Love is the golden chain that binds
The happy souls above;
And he’s an heir of heaven who finds
His bosom glow with love.
---Alternative verses---
How sweet, how heavenly is the sight,
When those who love the Lord,
In one another’s peace delight,
And so fulfil his word!
O may we feel each brother’s sigh,
And with him bear a part:
May sorrows flow from eye to eye,
And joy from heart to heart.
Free us from envy, scorn, and pride,
Our wishes fix above;
May each his brother’s failings hide,
And show a brother’s love.
Let love, in one delightful stream,
Through every bosom flow,
And union sweet, and dear esteem,
In every action glow.
