¹Behold, how good a thing it is,

and how becoming well,

Together such as brethren are

in unity to dwell!

²Like precious ointment on the head,

that down the beard did flow,

Ev'n Aaron's beard, and to the skirts,*

did of his garments go.

³As Hermon's dew, the dew that doth

on Sion' hills descend:

For there the blessing God commands,

life that shall never end.
