О как отрадно это
Aug. 6th, 2019 10:48 pmЖить в мире и труде Как будто благовония текут по бороде!
How good it is O see,
And how it pleaseth well
Together ev'n in unity
For brethren so to dwell.
Its like the choice ointment
From head to th' beard did go:
Down Aaron's beard that downward went
His garments skirts unto.
As Hermon's dew which did
On Sion's hills descend:
For there the Lord his blessing bid
Ev'n life without an end.
I, personally, find the translation to be better than the original, but the fact that the book actually exists is pretty awesome. https://hymnary.org/hymnal/PHSS1742?page=1
