1.⁠Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christan love:
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above
2.⁠Be - fore 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 mutal 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
Thro' all eternity. Amen
