Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: Rev. John Fawcett

Composer: Hans Georg Naegeli

Tune: Dennis (Naegeli, arr Mason)

Scripture:

1 Blest be the tie that binds

Our hearts in Christian love;

The fellowship of kindred minds

Is like to that above.

2 Before our Father’s throne

We pour our ardent pray’rs;

Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one,

Our comforts and our cares.

3 We share our mutual woes,

Our mutual burdens bear;

And often for each other flows

The sympathizing tear.

4 When we asunder part,

It gives us inward pain;

But we shall still be joined in heart,

And hope to meet again.
