This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  How sweet, how heav'nly is the sight,

       When those who love the Lord

    In one another's peace delight,

       And so fulfill His Word;

 

 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;

 

 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;

 

 4  When love, in one delightful stream,

       Through every bosom flows;

    When union sweet, and dear esteem,

       In every action glows.

 

 5  Love is the golden chain that binds;

       The saints Thy grace thus prove.

    And he is glory's heir that finds

       His bosom glow with love.
