Author: J. Fawcett Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #21 (1930) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 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 When we at death must part,
It gives us inward pain,
But we shall still be joined in heart
And hope to meet again.
5 From sorrow, toil and pain
And sin we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Thro' all eternity.
Amen. Topics: Close of Worship Languages: English Tune Title: DENNIS
