O what a happy thing it is, and joyful for to see, Brethren to dwell together in friendship and unity!

Verse 2

It's like the precious ointment that was pour'd on Aaron's head, Which from his beard down to the skirts of his rich garments spread.

Verse 3

And as the lower ground doth drink the dew of Hermon hill, And Sion with his silver drops the fields with fruit doth fill;

Verse 4

Ev'n so the Lord doth pour on them his blessings manifold, Whose hearts and minds sincerely do this knot fast keep and hold.
