Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #409 (2018) 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 This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way,
while each in expectation lives
and waits to see that day.
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain
and sin, we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity. Topics: Blessed Hope; Church As Communion of Saints; Farewell Service; Christian Friendship; Heaven Reunion in Scripture: Galatians 3:28 Languages: English Tune Title: DENNIS
