How sweet, how heavenly is the sight,
When those who 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 soar above,
We try each other's faults to hide,
And show a brother's love.
Let love in one delightful stream,
Through every bosom flow;
And union sweet and dear esteem,
In every action glow.
