BlessedBe the Tie That Binds
Blessedbe the tie that binds
Ourhearts in Christian love;
Thefellowship of kindred minds
Islike to that above.
Beforeour Father’s throne
Wepour our ardent prayers;
Ourfears, our hopes, our aims are one
Ourcomforts and our cares.
Weshare each other’s woes,
Ourmutual burdens bear;
Andoften for each other flows
Thesympathizing tear.
Whenwe asunder part,
Itgives us inward pain;
Butwe shall still be joined in heart,
Andhope to meet again.
Thisglorious hope revives
Ourcourage by the way;
Whileeach in expectation lives,
Andlongs to see the day.
Fromsorrow, toil and pain,
Andsin, we shall be free,
Andperfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
