169. Blest Be the Tie That Binds
S.M.
1
Blest be the tie that binds
Our souls in Jesus’ love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is shared with Him above.
2
Before our Father’s throne
We pour our fervent prayers;
In Christ our thoughts and hopes are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3
We share each other’s woes,
Each other’s burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
4
When for a while we part,
This thought will soothe our pain:
That we shall still be joined in heart,
5
"That blessed hope" revives
While each in expectation lives
And longs to see the day,
6
When from all toil and pain
And sin we shall be free,
And we shall with the Savior reign
