(PDF download)

Commissioned by Will Ferguson and Will Stanley on the occasion of their wedding.

Psalm 133 (KJV):

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Ecce quam bonum et quam jucundum, habitare fratres in unum!

It is like the precious oil upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that ran down to the skirts of his garments;

it is as the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life forever."
