Bless Be The Tie That Binds

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 prayers; our fears, our hopes, our sins are one, our comforts and our cares.
3 We share each other’s woes; our mutual burdens bear; and often for each other flows a sympathetic tear.
