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 comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes,
O'er 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.
