How Sweet, How Heavenly Is the Sight

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.

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 chain that binds

The hap­py souls ab­ove;

And he’s an heir of Heav’n that finds

His bo­som glow with love.
