Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #76 (1997) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Blest be the tie that binds Lyrics: 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 pray'rs;
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.
5 This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Thro' all eternity. Topics: Closing Hymns; Love brotherly; Unity & Peace Scripture: Colossians 2:2 Languages: English Tune Title: DENNIS
