Lyics

Blest 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 prayers;
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.
