"Christian Love"

Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: Laudes Domini #487 (1890) Topics: Church Ordinances of; Church Ordinances of 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 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 give 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 Through all eternity.

When sorrow flows from every eye, And joy from heart to heart! 3 When, free from envy, scorn, and pride, Our wishes all above, Each can his brother's failings hide, And show a brother's love! 4 Let love, in one delightful stream, Through every bosom flow; And union sweet, and dear esteem In every action glow. 5 Love is the golden chain that binds The happy souls above; And he's an heir of heaven who finds His bosom glow with love.

Be with them, God the Son! And God the Holy Spirit! Most blessèd Three in One! Make them Thy chose heralds, On them the Spirit pour, And fill them with Thy fullness Both now and evermore! Amen.

Let inward love guide every deed; by this we worship, and are freed. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: GIFT OF LOVE
