The Psalms of David ‎#H21.II

H21.II. Communion of Saints

5 Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds,
Is like to that above.

6 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.

7 We share our mutual woes;
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

8 Alli'd to Christ our head,
We act, we grow, and thrive;
Nor will he leave us with the dead,
While he remains alive.

9 This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.

10 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Thro' all eternity.
