133A. How good a thing it is

Author: James Seddon 1915-83

How good a thing it is,
how pleasant to behold,
when all God’s people live at one,
the law of love uphold!

2. As perfume, by its scent,
breathes fragrance all around,
so life itself will sweeter be
where unity is found.

3. And like refreshing dew
that falls upon the hills,
true union sheds its gentle grace,
and deeper love instils.

4. God grants his choicest gifts
to those who live in peace;
to them his blessings shall abound
and evermore increase.
