The Choir and The Oratory | ||
IX. Psalm cxxxiii.
Oh! how grateful is the sight,
Israel! when thy sons unite;
When a holy truce succeeds
Angry feuds and hostile deeds,
And, as brethren, side by side,
Peacefully thy tribes abide!
Israel! when thy sons unite;
When a holy truce succeeds
Angry feuds and hostile deeds,
And, as brethren, side by side,
Peacefully thy tribes abide!
Like the sacred unction shed
Upon Aaron's reverend head,
That, with costliest odours blended,
O'er his flowing beard descended,
Thence distilling on his vest;—
Like the genial dews that rest,
Hermon! on thy pastoral heights,
Spreads that peace its calm delights,
Shedding heavenly influence round:
Richest blessings thence abound.
For, where love His saints unites,
Peace, and heaven, and God are found.
