Verse 1
How sweet, how heavenly is the sight When those that love the Lord In one another's peace delight And so fulfill the word.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 4
When love in one delightful stream Through ev'ry bosom flows; When union sweet in dear esteem In ev'ry action glows.
Verse 5
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.
