Author: John Fawcett, 1740-1817 Hymnal: African American Heritage Hymnal #341 (2001) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: African American Heritage Hymnal Lyrics: 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 each other's woes,
Each other's burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin we shall be free;
And perfect love and joy shall reign
Through all eternity. Topics: Brotherhood and World Peace Scripture: Colossians 3:14 Languages: English Tune Title: DENNIS
Blest Be the Tie that Binds
