Lo! what an entertaining sight
Those friendly brethren prove
Whose cheerful hearts in bands unite
Of harmony and love!
Where streams of bliss from Christ the spring
Descend to every soul,
And heavenly peace, with balmy wing,
Shades and bedews the whole.
‘Tis like the oil, divinely sweet,
On Aaron’s reverend head;
The trickling drops perfumed his feet,
And o’er his garments spread.
'Tis pleasant as the morning dews
That fall on Zion's hill,
Where God his mildest glory shows,
And makes his grace distil.
---Alternative verses---
Lo! what an entertaining sight
Are brethren who agree!
Brethren whose cheerful hearts unite
In hands of piety!
Lo! what an entertaining sight
Are brethren that agree,
Brethren whose cheerful hearts unite
In bands of piety.
Where streams of love from Christ the spring
Descend to every soul,
And heavenly peace, with balmy wing,
Shades and bedews the whole.
