“That your love may abound yet more and more.” Phil. 1. 9

1 How sweet, how heavenly is the sight,
  When those that love the Lord,
  In one another’s peace delight,
  And so fulfil 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 happy souls above;
  And he’s an heir of heaven that finds
  His bosom glow with love.
