How vast must their advantage be!
how great their pleasure prove!
Who live like brethren, and consent
in offices of love!
True love is like that precious oil,
which, poured on Aaron's head,
Ran down his beard, and o'er his robes
its costly moisture shed.
'Tis like refreshing dew, which does
on Hermon's top distil;
Or like the early drops that fall
on Zion's fruitful hill.
For Zion is the chosen seat,
where the Almighty King
The promised blessing has ordained,
and life's eternal spring.
