How Sweet, How Heavenly

Verse 1

How sweet, how heav'nly is the sight, When those that love the Lord In one another's peace delight, And so fulfill His word;

Verse 2

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;

Verse 3

When free from envy, scorn, and pride, Our wishes all above, Each can His brother's failings hide, And show a brother's love;

Verse 4

When love in one delightful stream Thro' ev'ry bosom flows; When union sweet and dear esteem In ev'ry action glows!

Verse 5

Love is the golden chain that binds The happy souls above; And he's an heir of heav'n who finds His bosom glow with love.
