Text
Lo! What an entertaining sight
Are brethren that agree!
Brethren whose cheerful hearts unite
In bands of piety!
'Tis like the oil divinely sweet
On Aaron's rev'rend head,
The trickling drops perfumed his feet,
And o'er his garments spread.
'Tis pleasant as the morning dews
That fall on Sion's hill,
Where God his mildest glory shows
And makes his grace distil.
