- Blest be the tie that binds,
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds,
Is like to that above. - Before our father’s throne,
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one,
Our comforts and our cares. - We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows,
The sympathizing ear. - When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
