LyicsHow sweet, how heavenly is the sight,
When those that love the Lord,
In one an-oth-er's peace de-light,
And so ful-fill the word.
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;
When free from envy, scorn, and pride,
Our wishes all above,
Each can his brother's failing hide,
And show a brother's love;
When love, in one delightful stream,
Through every bosom flows;
When union sweet and dear esteem
In every action glows.
Love is the golden chain that binds
The happy souls above;
And he's an heir of heaven that finds
His bosom glow with love.
