Words

  1. 1Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above.
  2. 2Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one Our comforts and our cares.
  3. 3We share each other's woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear.
  4. 4When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again.
  5. 5This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day.
  6. 6From sorrow, toil and pain, And sin, we shall be free, And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.
