How sweet, how heavenly is the sight
1
How sweet, how heavenly is the sightWhen those that love the LordIn one another's peace delight,And thus 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;And union sweet, and dear esteem,In every action glows.
5
Love is a golden chain that bindsThe happy souls above,And he 's an heir of heaven who findsHis bosom glow with love.
