Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above.
2
We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathising tear.
3
When we asunder part It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again.
4
This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day.
5
From sorrow, toil and pain, And sin, we shall be free, And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.
