Behold how good a thing
It is to dwell in peace;
How pleasing to our King
This fruit of righteousness;
When brethren all in one agree
They know the joy of unity!
When all are sweetly joined
(True followers of the Lamb)
They’re one in heart and mind
They think and speak the same;
When all in love together dwell;
The comfort is unspeakable!
Where unity takes place
The joys of heav’n we prove;
This is the gospel grace
The unction from above;
The Spirit on all saints is shed
Descending swift from Christ the Head.
Where unity is found
The sweet anointing grace
Extends to all around
And shines from every face;
To every praising saint it comes
And fills him with divine perfumes.
On all His chosen ones
The precious oil comes down:
Anointing as it runs
Anointing on and on.
E’en to His skirts (the meanest name
That longs to love the bleeding Lamb).
From Aaron’s beard it rolls
(Those nearest to His face)
The humble
trembling souls
Who know abundant grace;
The grace
the grace for all is free
For
lo
it reaches now to me!
