Brotherly Love.

PSALM CXXXIII.

I.
1 LO, what an entertaining Sight
2 Are Brethren that agree,
3 Brethren whose chearful Hearts unite
4 In Bands of Piety.
II.
5 When Streams of Love from Christ the Spring
6 Descend to every Soul,
7 And Sacred Peace with Balmy Wing
8 Shades and bedews the whole;
III.
9 'Tis like the Oyl on Aaron shed
10 Which choice Perfumes compose,
11 Down softly from his Reverend Head
12 It trickled to his Toes.
[Page 62]
IV.
13 Tis pleasant as the Morning Dews
14 That fall on Zion's Hill;
15 Where God his mildest Glory shews,
16 And makes his Grace distil.
