Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Jesus' love: The fellowship of Christian minds Is like to that above. | Before our Father's throne We pour united prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one; Our comforts and our cares. | 446 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. | When we at death must part, Not like the world's, our pain; But one in Christ, and one in heart, We part to meet again. | From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Throughout eternity. | |
