Verse 1: Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship our spirit finds 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 our mutual 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: From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin we shall be free; And perfect love and oneness reign Through all eternity.
