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.
  
   When for a while we part
   This thought will soothe our pain
   That we shall still be joined in heart
   And hope to meet again.
  
   From sorrow, toil and pain
   And sin we shall be free
   And perfect love and friendship reign
   Through all eternity.
