Hymn LVI. Psal. 133. [To be often sung in Families.]
O Happy Families on Earth Resembling that above, Where Brethren peacefully unite In sweet Accord and Love. 'Tis like the precious Ointment poured On Aaron's sacred Head, Which down his Face and Garments rich Its fragrant Odours spread. 'Tis as the Dew which melting Clouds On Hermon's top distil, Or fruitful Showers which Heavens let fall On Zion's Holy Hill. For there the God of Love commands And pours out blessings store, The Comforts of this present Life, And Life for evermore.
