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 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 chan that binds

The happy souls above,

And he's an heir of heav'n that finds

His bosom glow with love.

And he's an heir of heav'n that finds

His bosom glow with love.
