Fold to your heart your sister and your brother

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-92 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 149 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:8-10 Lyrics: 1 Fold to your heart your sister and your brother: where pity dwells, the peace of God is there; to worship rightly and to love each other, each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. 2 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken: the holier worship which he deigns to bless restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken, and feeds the widow and the fatherless. 3 Follow with reverent steps the great example of him whose holy work was doing good: so shall the wide earth seem our father's temple, each loving life a psalm of gratitude. 4 Then shall all shackles fall: the stormy clangour of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease; love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger, and in its ashes plant the tree of peace.
