Author: Lauchlan McLean Watt, 1853-1931 Hymnal: RitualSong #790 (1996) First Line: I bind my heart this tide Lyrics: 1 I bind my heart this tide
To the Galilean's side,
To the wounds of Calvary,
To the Christ who died for me.
2 I bind my soul this day
To the brother far away,
To the sister near at hand
In this town and in this land.
3 I bind my heart in thrall
To the God, the Lord of all,
To the God, the poor one's friend,
And the Christ whom he did send.
4 I bind myself to peace,
To make strife and envy cease;
O God, knit thou sure the cord
Of my thralldom to my Lord. Topics: Christian Life; Christian Life; Commitment; Good Friday; Jesus Christ; Lent; Life; Love for Others; Poverty; Social Concern Languages: English Tune Title: [I bind my heart this tide]
