Hymn number 648

HOW sweet, how heavenly is the sight
When those who love their Lord,
In one another’s peace delight,
And so fulfil His Word!

2

When each can feel the other’s sigh,
And also 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 the other’s failings hide,
And show a kindred love:

4

When love in one delightful stream
Through every member flows,
And fellowship and kind esteem
In every action shows.

5

Love is the bond divine that binds
The happy souls above:
May we, as heirs of Heaven, find
Our hearts so filled with love.
