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.
Verse 5
This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day.
