Text:Communion of Saints; or, Love and worship in a Family

CXXXIIIb. Communion of Saints; or, Love and worship in a Family

1 Blest are the sons of peace,
Whose hearts and hopes are one,
Whose kind designs to serve and please
Thro' all their actions run.

2 Blest is the pious house
Where zeal and friendship meet,
Their songs of praise, their mingled vows,
Make their communion sweet.

3 Thus when on Aaron's head
They pour'd the rich perfume,
The oil through all his raiment spread,
And pleasure fill'd the room.

4 Thus on the heav'nly hills
The saints are blest above,
Where joy, like morning dew, distils,
And all the air is love.
