Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
Before our Father’s throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are One,
Our comforts and our cares.
Our God has made us one;
In Him our hearts unite.
When we His children share His love,
Our joy is His delight.
Our God has made us one;
Th church to bear his name;
One body and one Bride of Christ,
And with Him we shall reign
