431 ~ How Sweet, How Heavenly
1
How sweet, how heavenly is the sight When those who love the Lord In one another's peace delight, And thus fulfill His word.
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.
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.
4
When love, in one delightful stream, Through every bosom flows; And union sweet, and dear esteem, In every action glows.
5
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.
