How good a thing it is

1.
How good a thing it is, 
how pleasant to behold, 
when all God's people live as one, 
the law of love uphold! 

2.
As perfume, by its scent, 
breathes fragrance on 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 instills. 

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