Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#295

295. Lo, what an entertaining sight

1 Lo, what an entertaining sight
Are brethren that agree,
Brethren, whose cheerful hearts unite
In bands of piety.

2 When streams of love from Christ, the spring,
Descend to ev'ry soul,
And heav'nly peace with balmy wing,
Shades and bedews the whole:

3 'Tis like the oil divinely sweet,
On Aaron's rev'rend head;
The trickling drops perfum'd his feet,
And o'er his garments spread:

4 'Tis pleasant as the morning dews
That fall on Zion's hill,
Where God his mildest glory shews,
And makes his grace distil.
