LyicsBLEST be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above.
Before our Father's throne
we pour our ardent pray'rs;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.
When we asunder part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be join'd in heart,
and hope to meet again.
This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way;
while each in expectation lives,
and longs to see the day.
From sorrow, toil, and pain,
and sin, we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.
