“Love as brethren.” 1 Pet. 3. 8; Gal. 6. 2

1 Brethren, let us walk together
  In the bonds of love and peace;
  Can it be a question whether
  Brethren should from conflict cease?
  ’Tis in union
  Hope, and joy, and love increase.

2 While we journey homeward, let us
  Help each other in the road;
  Foes on every side beset us;
  Snares through all the way are strewed;
  It behoves us
  Each to bear a brother’s load.

3 When we think how much our Father
  Has forgiven, and does forgive,
  Brethren, we should learn the rather
  Free from wrath and strife to live,
  Far removing
  All that might offend or grieve.

4 Then, let each esteem his brother
  Better than himself to be;
  And let each prefer another,
  Full of love, from envy free;
  Happy are we,
  When in this we all agree.
