How pleasing is the sight, to see
Each sect and party so agree,
As to set round the Saviour's board,
As members of one common Lord!
Here we behold the dawn of bliss—
Here we behold the Saviour's grace—
Here we behold his precious blood,
Which sweetly pleads for us with God.
Hear our request, while we implore
That love may spread from shore to shore;
'Till all the saints, like us, combine,
To praise the Lamb in songs divine.
To all we freely give our hand,
Who love the Lord in ev'ry land;
For all are one in Christ our Head,
To whom be endless honours paid.
Here, by the bread and wine, we view
What boundless curses were our due:
But through' th' atonement of our Lord,
More than was lost is now restored.
Let party names, those seeds of hell,
No more in Christian bosoms dwell;
But love and union, by his blood,
Prove them the chosen heirs of God.
