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.
Joseph Swain
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! ~Psalm 133:1
