Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #340 (1957) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 are called to part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
5 From sorrow, toil and pain,
And sin, we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
Amen. Scripture: Galatians 3:26-28 Tune Title: DENNIS
Blest Be the Tie That Binds
