ENGLISH LYRICS:  Blest be the tie that binds

Bear ye one another's burdens. Gal. 6:2

1. Blest be the tie that binds
   Our heart 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 asunder 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
   Through all eternity
Amen.
