350   Blest Be the Tie That Binds




[1]
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 sympathizing tear.

[4]
When we asunder part
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart
And hope to meet again.
