BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS
1. Blest be the tie
that binds
Our hearts in
Christian love;
The fellowship of
kindred minds
Is like to that
above.
2. Before our
Father's throne
We pour our ardent
prayers;
Our fears, our
hopes, our aims are one,
Our comfort and our
cares.
3. We share our
mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens
bear,
And often for each
other flows
The sympathizing
tear.
4. When we asunder
part,
It gives us inward
pain;
But we shall still
be joined in heart,
And hope to meet
again.
5. From sorrow,
toil and pain,
And sin we shall be
free;
And perfect love
and friendship reign
Through all
eternity.
