Blest Be the Tie That Binds Chords

John Fawcett & Johann G. Nägeli

(D)Blest (A)be the tie that (D)binds 
our (G)hearts in (D)Christian (A)love; 
the fellow(D)ship of (A)kindred (D)minds 
(G)is (D)like to that (A)a(D)bove. 

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 are called to part, 
it gives us inward pain; 
but we shall still be joined in heart, 
and hope to meet again. 

This glorious hope revives 
our courage by the way; 
while each in expectation lives 
and waits to see the day. 

From sorrow, toil, and pain, 
and sin, we shall be free; 
and perfect love and friendship reign 
through all eternity.
