Kindred and friends agree,
Each in their proper station move,
And each fulfil his part
With sympathizing heart,
In all the cares of life and love.
2 'Tis like the ointment shed
On Aaron's sacred head,
Divinely rich, divinely sweet;
The oil thro' all the room
Diffus'd a choice perfume,
Ran through his robes, and blest his feet.
3 Like fruitful showers of rain,
That water all the plain,
Descending from the neighboring hills;
Such streams of pleasure roll
Thro' every friendly soul,
Where love like heavenly dew distils.
4 How pleasant 'tis to see
Kindred and friends agree,
Each in their proper station move,
And each fulfil his part
With sympathizing heart,
In all the cares of life and love. Scripture: Psalm 133 Languages: English
