Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love ; The fellowship of kindred minds 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 for each other flows The sympathising tear.
4. When we asunder part It gives us inward pain ; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again.
