Author: J. Fawcett Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #498 (1920) 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 united 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 at death must part,
Not like the world's, our pain;
But one in Christ, and one in heart,
We part to meet again.
From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Throughout eternity. Topics: General Brotherhood, Service, Guilds, Parochial Missions Languages: English Tune Title: BOYLSTON
Blest be the tie that binds
