{{Vs|1}} O Lord, how joyful ’tis to see | |||
The brethren join in love to Thee! | |||
On Thee alone their heart relies | |||
Their only strength Thy grace supplies. | |||
{{Vs|2}} How sweet within Thy holy place | |||
With one accord to sing Thy grace, | |||
Besieging Thine attentive ear | |||
With all the force of fervent prayer! | |||
{{Vs|3}} O may we love the house of God, | |||
Of peace and joy the blest abode; | |||
O may no angry strife destroy | |||
That sacred peace, that holy joy. | |||
{{mdl}} | |||
{{Vs|4}} The world without may rage, but we | |||
Will only cling more close to Thee, | |||
With hearts to Thee more wholly giv’n, | |||
More weaned from earth, more fixed on heav’n. | |||
{{Vs|5}} Lord, shower upon us from above | |||
The sacred gift of mutual love; | |||
Each other’s wants may we supply, | |||
And reign together in the sky. | |||
{{Vs|6}} Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow, | |||
Praise Him, all creatures here below, | |||
Praise Him above, angelic host, | |||
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. | |||
