Blest Be the Tie
by John Fawcett

Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above
Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one
Our comforts and our cares
We share our mutual woes
Our mutual burdens bear
And often for each other flows
The sympathising tear
When for a while we part
This thought will soothe our pain
That we shall still be joined in heart
And hope to meet again
This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way
While each in expectation lives
And longs to see the day
From sorrow, toil and pain
And sin we shall be free
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity
