1.Behold, how good a thing it is,
and how becoming well,
Together such as brethren are
in unity to dwell!

2.Like precious ointment on the head,
that down the beard did flow,
Ev'n Aaron's beard, and to the skirts
did of his garments go.

3.As Hermon's dew, the dew that doth
on Zion hills descend:
For there the blessing God commands,
life that shall never end.
