1. Blest be the tie that binds
  Our hearts in Christian love;
  The fellowship our spirit finds
  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 of each other flows
  The sympathizing tear.
4. When we asunder part,
  It gives us inward pain;
  But we shall still be joining in heart,
  And hope to meet again.
5. From sorrow, toil, and pain,
  And sin we shall be free;
  And perfect love and oneness reign
  Through all eternity.
