Harmonious Living
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
How good and pleasant it is,
When we dwell in unity;
Sharing all that has been His,
With living in harmony.
Like His oil on the head,
That runs down upon the beard;
His ointment in being fed,
Laud the One who is revered.
It runs down over the cloak,
Down the skirt of the garment;
In concord not to provoke,
Freedom of any torment.
It is like the morning dew,
Which falls upon the mountain;
As the Lord commanded you,
Through blessings of His fountain.
