Oh blessed society,
Of saints in friendship joined!
From envy, wrath and malice free,
In words and actions kind.
No strife, but to excel,
No hatred, but of sin;
A perfect harmony without,
Substantial peace within.
Each other’s joys they feel,
Each other’s sorrows share;
Unite in melody of praise,
In fervency of prayer.
Thus in the world above,
Myriads surround the throne:
In loftier worship they engage,
And all their hearts are one.
