Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXXVI (1789) Lyrics: 1 Lo, what an entertaining sight
Are kindred who agree!
How blest the house, where hearts unite
In bands of piety!
2 When streams of love, from heav'nly springs,
Descend on every soul;
And sacred peace, with balmy wings,
Shades and bedews the whole!
3 All in their proper stations move,
And each fulfils his part,
In all the cares of life and love,
With sympathizing heart.
4 Their souls are form'd for joy and peace,
Their hearts and hopes are one;
And kind desires, to serve and pleas,
Thro' all their actions run.
5 How happy is the pious house,
Where zeal and friendship meet,
Where songs of praise, and mingled vows,
Make the communion sweet!
6 Such pleasure crowns the heav'nly hills;
Thus saints are blest above;
Where joy like morning dew distils,
And all the air is love.
