Behold how good it proves

John Barnard • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 133

Verse 1

Behold! how good it proves! How charming is the sight! When brethren, dwell in love In firmest bonds, unite; When all agree To act their part, As with one heart, In charity.

Verse 2

It's like the precious oil, That casts a fragrant smell, Which poured on Aaron's head, A down his locks it fell; From thence it shed It's trickling globes, On's priestly robes, And odors spread.

Verse 3

So the refreshing dews, From Hermon's top, that flow. Or rowl down Sion's mount, Revive the plains below: Jehovah there His bliss ordains, With life that reigns For ever fair.
