VERSE 1
Behold, how good a thing
It is to dwell in peace;
How pleasing to our King
This fruit of righteousness;
When brethren all in one agree,
Who like the joys of unity!
VERSE 2
When all are sweetly joined,
True followers of the Lamb;
The same in heart and mind,
And think and speak the same;
And all in love together dwell;
The comfort is unspeakable.
VERSE 3
Where unity takes place,
The joys of heaven we prove;
This is the gospel grace,
The unction from above,
The Spirit on all believers shed,
Descending swift from Christ our Head.
VERSE 4
Where unity is found,
The sweet anointing grace
Extends to all around,
And consecrates the place;
To every waiting soul it comes,
And fills it with divine perfumes.
VERSE 5
Grace every morning new,
And every night we feel;
The soft refreshing dew
That falls on Hermon's hill!
On Zion it doth sweetly fall;
The grace of one descends on all.
VERSE 6
E'en now, our Lord doth pour
The blessing from above,
A kindly, gracious shower
Of heart-reviving love,
The former and the latter rain,
The love of God and love of man.
