LyicsHOW sweet, how heavenly is the sight,
when those that love the Lord
In one another's peace delight,
And so fulfill 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 failings 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 who finds
His bosom glow with love.
