Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Verse 1

Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above.

Verse 2

Before our Father’s throne
we pour our ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.

Verse 3

We share each other’s woes,
our mutual burdens bear;
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear.

Verse 4

When we asunder part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.
