##(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. ##(Verse 6) From sorrow, toil and pain, And sin, we shall be free, And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.
