How good and pleasant ‘tis to see,

When brethren cordially agree,

And kindly think and speak the same!

A family of faith and love,

Combin’d to seek the things above,

And spread the common Saviour’s Fame.

The God of grace, who all invites

Who in our unity delights,

Vouchsafes our intercourse to bless;

Revives us with refreshing show’rs,

The fullness of his blessing pours,

And keeps our minds in perfect peace.

Jesus, thou precious corner-stone,

Preserve inseparably one

Whom thou didst by thy spirit join:;

Still let us in Thy spirit live,

And to thy church the pattern give

Of unanimity divine.

Still let us to each other cleave,

And from thy plenitude receive

Constant supplies of hallowing grace;

Till to a perfect man we rise.

O’ ertake our kindred in the skies,

And find prepar’d our heav’nly place.
