hymnal 221 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 When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again.
