PSALM 133 SETTING A METER: 86 886 SUGGESTED TUNE: REST This is the same meter as the hymn "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind" 1. How good it is and pleasant, too, To dwell in unity. Like precious oil upon the head Which down into the beard does run, Yes, even Aaron's beard; 2. And also running down onto The collar of his robes, Like Hermon's dew on Zion's mount. For God commanded blessing there, Yes, life forevermore. Reprinted by permission of the publisher from Sing the Psalms! by Dale A. Schoening. Copyright 1988 Dale A. Schoening, altered 2000 Dale A.

It is as if God anointed Aaron's head with precious oil, Running down his beard and collar, Like the dew on Zion's hill. There the Lord commanded blessing, Giving life forevermore.
