Brotherly Love

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #279 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: Lo, what a pleasing sight Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a pleasing sight Are brethren that agree! How blest are all, whose hearts unite In bonds of piety! 2 From those celestial springs, Such streams of comfort flow As no increase of riches brings, Nor honors can bestow. 3 All in their stations move, And each performs his part, In all the cares of life and love, With sympathizing heart. 4 Form'd for the purest joys, By one desire possess'd, One aim the zeal of all employs, To make each other blest. 5 No bliss can equal theirs, Where such affections meet; While praise devout, and mingled pray'rs Make their communion sweet. 6 'Tis the same pleasure fills The breast in worlds above; Where joy like morning-dew distils, And all the air is love.

This work shall make my heart rejoice, Throughout the remnant of my days. Languages: English

Will he reject the filial pray'r, Or mock him with a cake of stone? 4 Our heav'nly Father, how much more Will thy divine compassions rise; And open thy unbounded store, To satisfy thy children's cries? 5 Yes, we will ask, and seek, and press For gracious audience at thy seat; Still hoping, waiting for success, If persevering to entreat. 6 For Jesus in his faithful word The upright supplicant has blest; And all thy saints with one accord The prevalence of pray'r attest.
