Text:How vast must their Advantage be
Tune:[How vast must their Advantage be]

CXXXIII. How vast must their Advantage be

1 How vast must their Advantage be,
How very great their Pleasure prove?
Who live like Brethren, and consent,
In tender Offices of Love.

2 True Love is like that precious Oil,
Which, pour'd on Aaron's sacred Head,
Ran down his Beard, and o'er his Robes,
Its costly fragrant Moisture shed.

3 'Tis like refreshing Dew, which does
On Hermon's lofty Top distill;
Or like the early Drops, that fall
On sacred Sion's fruitful Hill.

4 For Sion is the chosen Seat,
The Seat, where the Almighty King
The promis'd Blessing has ordain'd,
And fixed Life's eternal Spring.
