Precious Presence

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments" (Psalm 133:1,2). "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering (for He is faithful that promised), and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching" (Hebrews 10:23-25).

The precious presence of our Lord
Inspires unity.
How pleasant is that sweet accord
When Him alone we see.

When Aaron was anointed,
And Israel gathered round,
This portrait thereby pointed
To where our peace found.

When upon our Lord and Christ
We focus every eye,
We see our Savior sacrificed
And hear Him testify.

We see Him as our great High Priest,
Yet as our Lamb as well.
Let His presence be increased
Who rescued us from hell!

Our Lord is coming back again
To gather all His own.
Exhort each other until then,
By love, to make Him known.
