Sacred Hymns (Manchester Hymnal) (1840, 1912), no. 52
Where the voice of friendship’s heard

1. Where the voice of friendship’s heard, Sounding like a sweet-toned bird; Where the holy notes inspire, With devotion’s pure desire; Where fond actions speak the soul; Where true love doth all control; Where the sons of God agree, There may all the faithful be.

2. Where the weary find a home; Where the wild deer fearless roam; Where the mellow fruit tree grows; Where the golden harvest flows; Where the bee, the grape and kine Yield their honey, milk and wine; Where the curse from earth shall flee, There may all the faithful be.

3. Where the Temple-block is laid; Where no foe shall e’er invade; Where the Priesthood’s power shall claim All that heaven and earth can name; Where the judge by justice rules; Where the couns’lors are not fools; Where the poor shall judgment see, There may all the faithful be.

4. Where the dew-distilling hills Drop their fatness in the rills; Where the river, lake and stream With their finny myriads teem; Where the shade-trees round the fold Shield from heat and winter’s cold; Where all nature sings with glee, There may all the faithful be.
