-How vast must their advantage be!
-How great their pleasure prove!
-Who live like Brethren and content
-In offices of love.
-True love is like that precious oil,
-which poured on Aaron's head,
-Ran down his Beard and o'er his robes
-Its costly moisture shed.
-'Tis like refreshing dew, which does
-On Herman's top distill,
-Or like the early drops that fall
-on Zion's fruitful hill.
