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 are called to 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.
* Or "Maker's"

Written to express a pastor’s unwillingness to leave a beloved congregation, this hymn is frequently used as an expression of Christian fellowship, especially at the conclusion of the Lord’s Supper. The tune is attributed to an influential Swiss musician and publisher.
