Select Psalms and Hymns for the use of Mr. Adgate's pupils ‎#XXVII

XXVII. Blest are the sons of peace

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

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

III 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.

IV Thus on the heavenly hills
The saints are blest above,
Where joy like morning dew distils,
And all the air is love.
