The Plymouth Sabbath School Collection of Hymns and Tunes ‎#2

2. Blest be the tie that binds

1 Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
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 for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

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