Author: Dr. J. Fawcett, 1740-1817 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #531 (1917) 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 prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comfort and our cares.
3 We share each other's woes,
Each other's burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When for a while we part,
This thought will soothe our pain;
That we shall still be joined in heart,
And one day meet again.
5 One glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day,
6 When from all toil and pain,
And sin we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
