O what a happy thing it is

Author: W. W. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #CXXXIII (1790) Lyrics: 1 O what a happy thing it is, and joyful for to see, Brethren to dwell together in friendship and unity! 2 It's like the precious ointment that was pour'd on Aaron's head, Which from his beard down to the skirts of his rich garments spread. 3 And as the lower ground doth drink the dew of Hermon hill, And Sion with his silver drops the fields with fruit doth fill; 4 Ev'n so the Lord doth pour on them his blessings manifold, Whose hearts and minds sincerely do this knot fast keep and hold. Scripture: Psalm 133 Languages: English

Ecce quam

Author: W. W. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #79a (1640) First Line: O how happy a thing it is Lyrics: 1 O what a happy thing it is, and joyfull for to see Brethren together fast to hold the band of amity! 2 It cals to mind that sweet perfume, and that costly ointment, Which on the Sacrificers head by Gods precept was spent. It was not Aarons head alone, but drencht his beard throughout: And finally it did run down his rich attire about. 3 And as the lower ground doth drink the dew of Hermons hill: And Sion with his silver drops the fields with fruit doth fill. 4 Even so the Lord doth powre on them his blessings manifold: Whose hearts and minds without al guile this knot do keep and hold. Scripture: Psalm 133 Languages: English
