393. S. M. Watts.

The Bond of Peace.

1Blest are the sons of peace,

Whose hearts and hopes are one;

Whose kind designs to serve and please

Through all their actions run.

2Blest is the pious house

Where zeal and friendship meet;

Their songs of praise, their mingled vows,

Make their communion sweet.

3Thus on the heavenly hills

The saints are blest above,

Where joy like morning dew distils,

And all the air is love.
