Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#252a

252a. Brotherly Love

1 Lo, what an entertaining sight
Those friendly brethren prove,
Whose cheerful hearts in bands unite
Of harmony and love.

2 Where streams of bliss from Christ the spring
Descend to every soul,
And heavenly peace with balmy wing
Shades and bedews the whole.

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

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