Psalms and Hymns to the Living God ‎#133

133. How Beautiful the Sight

1 How beautiful the sight
of brethren who agree
in friendship to unite,
and bonds of charity!
'Tis like the precious ointment, shed
o'er all his robes, from Aaron's head.

2 'Tis like the dew that fill
the cups of Hermon's flow'rs;
or Zion's fruitful hill,
bright with the drops of show'rs,
when mingling odors breathe around,
and glory rests on all the ground.

3 For there the LORD commands
blessings, a boundless store,
from His unsparing hands–
yea, life for evermore;
thrice happy they who meet above
to spend eternity in love.
