How Sweet, How Heavenly

1How sweet, how heavenly is the sight When those who love the Lord In one another's peace delight,
And thus fulfill His word.

2When 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.

3When free from envy, scorn, and pride,
Our wishes all above,
Each can his brother's failings hide,
And show a brother's love.

4When love, in one delightful stream,
Through every bosom flows;
And union sweet, and dear esteem,
In every action glows.

5Love is the golden chain that binds The happy souls above,
And he's an heir of heaven who finds His bosom glow with love.
