Lyics

How sweet, how heavenly is the sight,

When those that love the Lord

In one another's peace delight

And so fulfil the word;



When each can feel his brother's sigh,

And with him bear a part,

When sorrows flow 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 failings bide,

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 heav'n that finds

His bosom glow with love.
