493. Blest Be the Tie That Binds

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 each other's woes,
Our mutual burdens bear,
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

4 When we are called to part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.

AMEN.
