Lyics

How beautiful the sight 

Of brethren who agree

In friendship to unite,

And bands of charity!

 Tis like the precious ointment shed,

O'er all his robes, on Aaron's head.



 Tis like the dews that fill 

The cups of Hermon's flowers,

On Zion's fruitful hill,

Bright with the drops of showers,

Where mingling odors breathe around,

And glory rests on all the ground.



For there the Lord commands 

Blessings in boundless store,

From his unsparing hands, 

Ev'n life for evermore

Thrice happy those who meet above,

To spend eternity in love!
