Brethren, let us walk together
1
Brethren, let us walk togetherIn the bonds of love and peace;Can it be a question whetherBrethren should from conflict cease?'Tis in union, 'tis in unionHope and joy and love increase.
2
While we journey homeward, let usHelp each other on the road;Foes on every side beset us,Snares through all the way are strew'd;It behoves usEach to bear a brother's load.
3
When we think how much our FatherHas forgiven and does forgive,Brethren, we should learn the ratherFree from wrath and strife to live,Far removingAll that might offend or grieve.
4
Then let each esteem his brotherBetter than himself to be;And let each prefer another,Full of love, from envy free;Happy are weWhen in this we all agree.
