How sweet, how heav'nly is the sight,

   When those who love the Lord

In one another's peace delight,

   And so fulfill His 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,

   Through every bosom flows;

When union sweet, and dear esteem,

   In every action glows.

 5 

Love is the golden chain that binds;

   The saints Thy grace thus prove.

And he is glory's heir that finds

   His bosom glow with love.
