LyicsHow pleasing to behold and see
The friends of Jesus all agree,
To sit around his sacred board,
As members of one common Lord,
Here we behold the dawn of bliss--
Here we enjoy the Saviour's grace--
Here we behold his precious blood,
Which sweetly pleads for us with God.
While here we sit we would implore
That love may spread from shore to shore,
Till all the saints like us combine
To praise the Lord in songs divine.
To all we freely give our hand,
Who love the Lord in every land;
For all are one in Christ our head,
To whom be endless honor paid.
Let wrath and strife, those seeds of hell,
Ne'er in the christian bosoms dwell;
But love and union by his blood,
Prove us the chosen heirs of God.
