How good a thing it is
Author: J. E. Seddon (1915-1983) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #497a (1987) Lyrics: 1 How good a thing it is,
how pleasant to behold,
when all God's people live at one,
the law of love uphold!
2 As perfume, by its scent,
breathes fragrance all around,
so life itself will sweeter be
where unity is found.
3 And like refreshing dew
that falls upon the hills,
true union sheds its gentle grace,
and deeper love instils.
4 God grants his choicest gifts
to those who live in peace;
to them his blessings shall abound
and evermore increase. Topics: God's Church Unity and Growth; Pentecost 2 The Church's Unity and Fellowship; Pentecost 2 The Church's Unity and Fellowship Scripture: Psalm 133 Languages: English Tune Title: STEEPLE ASHTON

London, England, 1983) received his musical training at the London College of Music and Trinity College in London and his theological training at the Bible Churchmen's Theological College (now Trinity College) in Bristol. He served various Anglican parishes in England from 1939 to 1945 as well as from 1967 to 1980.
