Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,361 hymnals Topics: Unity Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the unity of heart and mind 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 The glorious hope revives our courage on the way; that we shall live in perfect love in God's eternal day.

Par le Dieu tout-puissant tu seras consolée; Il vient pour rassembler tes enfants bienheureux; Bientôt tu les verras réunis sous tes yeux. --- GERMAN - 1 Volk Gottes, lass den Harm und trockne deine Zähren. Es wird mit ew-gem Arm dein Gott der Drangsal wehren. Wo Heil und Friede wohnt, bleibt dir die Stadt bereit. Dein Herr, der droben thront, beschirmt dich allezeit. 2 Er hebt dich stark empor aus Trauer und aus Trümmern. Wo sich dein Glanz verlor, wird neuer Schatz erschimmern. Und strahlend wird ersteh'n, was unterging im Sturm, Wie ehe stark und schön, dein Mauer, Wall und Turm. 3 Drum auf, mit frohem Mut, Volk Gottes, ohn Betrüben! Dein Herr macht alles gut, des Trost dir nachgeblieben. Er wird mit Lied und Lust versammeln deine Schar, Dass du erfahren musst: Er bleibet, der Er war! --- ENGLISH - 1 O Zion, do not grieve, but cease thy bitter weeping; Th'Eternal is thy God, His promise to thee keeping; A resting place awaits thee on that peaceful shore; The Lord will lead thee home and keep thee evermore. 2 The Lord will raise thee up from all thy devastation, Vineyards and olive-groves return to cultivation. All things shall be restored as in thy happiest hours, Thy walls and citadels, thy ramparts and thy towers. 3 Renew thy courage, then, City of desolation! In the Almighty God thou shalt find consolation; He comes to gather up thy scattered family, And this reunion blest thy faithful eyes shall see. Used With Tune: [Ne te désole point]

Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 891 hymnals Topics: Church Fellowship of Believers (Unity) Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the Word: From heav'n He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her And for her life He died. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o’er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. 3 'Mid toil and tribulation And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth has union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won; O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: AURELIA
