Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,273 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:2 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 our mutual woes,
our mutual burdens bear,
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear.
4 When we are called to part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way;
while each in expectation lives
and waits to see the day.
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
and sin, we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,996 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6 Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
save in the death of Christ, my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them through his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

they share our complaining, our comforts, our cares:

Sing the wonders that were done
When the love of God the Father
O'er our sins the vict'ry won,
When God made the Virgin Mary
Mother of the only Son.
2 Blessed were the chosen people
Out of whom the Lord did come;
Blessed was the land of promise
Fashioned for his earthly home;
But more blessed far the mother,
She who bore him in her womb.

Sing the honor of her name;
Let the Church, in her foreshadowed,
Part in her thanksgiving claim;
What God's mother sang in gladness
Let Christ's people sing the same:

In my Savior I rejoice;

In his praise I lift my voice;

it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup;
4 it makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light.

O Brother Man, Fold to Your Heart

Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
To worship rightly is to love each other,
Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken:
The holier worship which he deigns to bless
Restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken,
And feeds the widow and the fatherless.
3 Follow with reverent steps the great example
Of him whose holy work was doing good;
So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple,
Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangor
Of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease;
Love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined;
yet seeking hope for humankind.

and then receive us as your own
not through some merit, right, or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.

and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.

your life to live, your joy to share.

to turn from guilt and dull despair

our courage till the feast of life.

the Spirit ever calls us on
through Calvary’s dying, dark and deep,
until we see the coming dawn.

who wore, for us, the crown of thorn,
and slept in death, that we might wake
to life on Resurrection Morn!
