1 Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The unity of heart and mind
Is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent pray'rs;
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 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
and sin we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.
