Lyrics

How plea­sant and how good it is
When breth­ren in the Lord
In one ano­ther’s joy de­light
And dwell in sweet ac­cord.

Such love is like an­oint­ing oil
In con­se­cra­tion poured;
Such love is like the morn­ing dew,
With sweet re­fresh­ment stored.

To those who dwell in bro­ther­hood
The Lord His bless­ing sends,
He crowns them with the crown of life,
Of life that ne­ver ends.
