Psalm 133

 
 1 

Behold how good a thing

It is to dwell in peace;

How pleasing to our King,

This fruit of righteousness;

When brethren all in one agree,

They know the joy of unity!

 
 2 

When all are sweetly joined

(True followers of the Lamb),

They're one in heart and mind,

They think and speak the same;

When all in love together dwell;

The comfort is unspeakable!

 
 3 

Where unity takes place,

The joys of heav'n we prove;

This is the gospel grace,

The unction from above;

The Spirit on all saints is shed,

Descending swift from Christ the Head.

 
 4 

Where unity is found,

The sweet anointing grace

Extends to all around,

And shines from every face;

To every praising saint it comes,

And fills him with divine perfumes.

 
 5 

On all His chosen ones

The precious oil comes down:

Anointing as it runs,

Anointing on and on.

E'en to His skirts (the meanest name

That longs to love the bleeding Lamb).

 
 6 

From Aaron's beard it rolls,

(Those nearest to His face),

The humble, trembling souls

Who know abundant grace;

The grace, the grace for all is free,

For, lo, it reaches now to me!
