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,
Through 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 that finds
His bosom glow with love.
