Lyrics

How good and plea­sant is the sight
When breth­ren make it their de­light
To dwell in blest ac­cord;
Such love is like anoint­ing oil
That con­se­crates for ho­ly toil
The ser­vants of the Lord.

Such love in peace and joy dis­tils,
As o’er the slopes of Her­mon’s hills
Refreshing dew des­cends;
The Lord com­mands His bless­ing there,
And they that walk in love shall share
In life that nev­er ends.

How good and plea­sant is the sight
When breth­ren make it their de­light
To dwell in blest ac­cord;
The Lord com­mands His bless­ing there,
And they that walk in love shall share
In life that nev­er ends.
