Lyrics

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

We share each other's woes, each other's burdens bear,
and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear.

When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain,
but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again.

From sorrow, toil, and pain, and sin we shall be free,
and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity.
