How blest the sacred tie that binds
Author: Anna Barbauld Appears in 270 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How blest the sacred tie that binds
In sweet communion kindred minds!
How swift the heavenly course they run,
Whose hearts, whose faith, whose hopes, are one!
2 To each the soul of each how dear!
What tender love! what holy fear!
How does the generous flame within
Refine from earth and cleanse from sin!
3 Their streaming eyes together flow
For human guilt and human woe;
Their ardent prayers together rise,
Like mingling flames in sacrifice.
4 Together oft they seek the place
Where God reveals his shining face;
How high, how strong, their raptures swell
There's none but kindred souls can tell. Topics: The Church Zeal and Union Used With Tune: CAPTIVITY
