Christian - Blest be the tie that binds Lyrics

Blest be the tie that binds
  Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship our spirit finds
  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 tear.

When we asunder part,
  It gives us inward pain;
But 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 oneness reign
  Through all eternity.
