Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Words and music by John Fawcett · 1782

Key of F · 76 BPM · 3/4 · Comfort,Trust · Colossians 3:14

Verse 1

Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love:
the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.

Verse 2

Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our
hopes, our aims are one Our comforts and our cares.

Verse 3

We share each other's woes, Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear.

Verse 4

When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall
still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again.

Verse 5

This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While
each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day.
