PSALM 133.

Lord,

1

How glorious in thine Eyes do those appear
Who follow peace, and as Religion binds,
In perfect union, and communion are,
Having no discords in their ways and minds.

2

Such happy concord yields a fragrant smell,
Like to that precious Oyntment which was shed
Upon thy High Priests Crown, and downwards fell
Upon his Beard, and o're his Garments spread.
138

3

As the refreshing-Dew did gently fall
And cherish Hermon, and bless Sions Hill,
So on the peaceful Heads of such Men shall
The blessings of the Lord, each Morn distill.
