The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#183b

183b. Blest 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 aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.

3 We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear,
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

4 We're one in Christ our Head,
In him we grow and thrive;
Nor will he leave us with the dead
While he remains alive.

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