Blest be the tie that binds

| 1. | Blest be the tie that binds |
| | Our hearts in Christian love; |
| | The fellowship our spirit finds |
| | 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; |
| | Our mutual burdens bear; |
| | And often of each other flows |
| | The sympathizing tear. |
| 4. | When we asunder part, |
| | It gives us inward pain; |
| | But we shall still be joining in heart, |
| | And hope to meet again. |
| 5. | From sorrow, toil, and pain, |
| | And sin we shall be free; |
| | And perfect love and oneness reign |
| | Through all eternity. |
