How pleasing to behold and see

The friends of Jesus all agree—

To sit around the sacred board

As members of one common Lord.

2 Here we behold the dawn of bliss—

Here we behold the Saviour’s grace—

Here we behold his precious blood,

Which sweetly pleads for us with God.

3 While here we sit, we would implore

That love may spread from shore to shore,

Till all the saints, like us, combine

To praise the Lord in songs divine.

4 To all we freely give our hand,

Who love the Lord in every land;

For all are one in Christ our head,

To whom be endless honors paid.
