413 | The Hymnal#414 | 415 |
1 How sweet, how heavenly is the sight
When those that love the Lord
In one another's peace delight,
And so fulfil 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,
And union sweet and dear esteem
In every action glows.
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.
Amen.
