When those who love the Lord,
In one another's peace delight,
And so fulfill his word!
2 Oh, may we feel each brother's sigh,
And with him bear a part;
May sorrows flow from eye to eye,
And joy from heart to heart.
3 Free us from envy, scorn, and pride;
Our wishes fix above;
May each his brother's failing hide,
And show a brother's love.
4 Let love, in one delightful stream,
Through every bosom flow,
And union sweet, and fond esteem,
In every action glow.
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. Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship; Brotherly Love Scripture: Psalm 133:1
