BEHOLD, HOW GOOD A THING IT IS
Don Fortner
(Tune:
Majestic Sweetness #52 CM)
Behold, how good a thing it is
For God's dear saints to dwell
Together
in sweet unity,
And
love each other well!
How sweet it is to be forgiv'n
When I
by sin offend;
But sweeter far it is to be
Forgiving
to a friend!
The
gentle, kind, forgiving hearts
The
thoughtful, caring hands,
That
help me through this troubled life,
Belong
to you my friends.
The love and unity we have
(Sweet
bonds of holy peace!)
Are
gifts of God upon His church,
The
bounty of His grace!
Our Father, we rejoice that You
Have
given us this peace;
Let each of us cherish this gift
And
each the other please.
Give us
the mind of Christ our Lord,
Who
bought us with His blood.
Let
each of us his neighbor serve
And seek his neighbor's good.
