| Text: | How Good and Pleasant Is the Sight |

| Composer: | Charles H. Gabriel, 1856-1932 |
1 How good and pleasant is the sight
when brethren make it their delight
to dwell in blest accord;
such love is like anointing oil
that consecrates for holy toil
the servants of the Lord.
2 Such love in peace and joy distills
as o’er the slopes of Hermon’s hills
refreshing dew descends;
the Lord commands his blessing there,
and they that walk in love shall share
in life that never ends.
3 How good and pleasant is the sight
when brethren make it their delight
to dwell in blest accord;
the Lord commands his blessing there,
and they that walk in love shall share
in life that never ends.
