Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,367 hymnals Topics: Christian Friendship Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love: the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. 2 Before the 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 When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives our courage by the way, while each in expectation lives, and longs to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil and pain, and sin, we shall be free; and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity.
