The Morning Stars Sang Together ‎#20

20. "A new commandment I give unto you"

1 Oh, what a world this might be,
More blest than e'er before.
Come learn and 'twill requite thee,
To love each other more.
Let love's sweet spirit guide us,
And learn whate'er betide us,
To love our brother man,
To love our brother man.

2 Then angel guests will brighten,
The threshold, with their wings,
And love divine enlighten,
The old forgotten springs.
Oh! what a world of beauty,
If man but did his duty,
And loved his brother man,
And loved his brother man.
