Psalm CXXXIII.

1

Behold how good and sweet it is,
And pleasant sight to see,
When brethren with each other live
In perfect unity!

2

Sweet as the ointment that was pour'd
On Aaron's sacred head:
Which running down perfum'd his beard,
And on his garments spred.

3

On such the Lord will blessings send,
As numberless to count,
As drops of dew on Zion hill,
Or Hermon's stately mount.

4

Yea out of Zion he will add
One blessing to their store,
That shall compleat and crown the rest,
Even life for evermore.
