492. 'Tis a Pleasant Thing to See

1 ‘Tis a pleasant thing to see
Brethren in the Lord agree,
Children of a God of love
Live as they shall live above,
Acting each a Christian part,
One in lip and one in heart.

2 Gently as the dews distil
Down on Zion’s holy hill,
Dropping gladness where they fall,
Brightening and refreshing all,
Such is Christian union shed
Through the members from the Head.

3 Where divine affection lives,
There the Lord His blessing gives;
There His will on earth is done;
There His heaven is half begun.
Lord, our great Example prove;
Teach us all like Thee to love.
