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 Maker's throne
we pour our ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.
3 We share each other's woes,
each other's burdens bear,
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part,
it gives us keenest pain,
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way;
in perfect friendship we shall live
in God's eternal day.

FRENCH -
1 Béni soit le lien
qui nous unit en Christ,
le saint amour, l'amour divin
que verse en nous l'Esprit!
2 Au ciel, vers notre Dieu,
avec joie et ferveur,
s'élèvent nos chants et nos vœux,
parfum doux au Seigneur.
3 Nous mettons en commun
nos fardeaux, nos labeurs;
en Jésus nous ne sommes qu'un
dans la joie et les pleurs!
4 Si nous devons bientôt
quitter ces lieux bénis,
nous nous retrouverons là-haut,
pour toujours réunis.
