How good and sweet, O see

How good and sweet, O see

Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1 Howgood and sweet, O see,
For brethren 'tis to dwell
As one in unity!
2 It's like choice oyl that fell
The head upon
That down did flow the beard unto
Beard of Aaron:

That further downward went,
His garments skirts upon.
3 Like Hermon's dews descent
Sion's mountains upon;
For there to stay
The Lord his bliss commanded is,
Ev'n life for aye.
