How Sweet, How Heavenly

1

How sweet, how heav'nly, is the sight,

When those that love the Lord

In one another's peace delight,

And so fulfill the word.

2

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.

3

When, free from envy, scorn, and pride,

Our wishes all above,

Each can his brother's failings hide,

And show a brother's love.

4

When love in one delightful stream

Thro' ev'ry bosom flows;

When union sweet and dear esteem

In ev'ry action glows.

5

Love is the golden chain that binds

The happy souls above;

And he's an heir of heav'n who finds

His bosom glow with love.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
