Unity's Unveiling



“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 upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard…. for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore” (Psalm 133:1-3).  “I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you…. A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.  By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:15,34,35).

There is a beauty to behold
In unity’s behavior,
Wherein our Lord shall thus unfold
The goodness of our Savior.

Our unity is like the oil
Anointing our High Priest,
As we have purposed in our toil
That Christ may be increased.

The love of Christ was clearly shown
Through His humility,
By His example to His own,
Which called for unity.

By this shall all men rightly know,
As our love has prevailed,
The beauty God would have us show
As Christ is thus unveiled.

O Lord, be magnified in us
On earth, as now above,
Unveiling praise that’s glorious
As we portray Your love.
