Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts is 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
We share each other's woes,
Our mutual burdens bear
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear
When we asunder past
It gives us inward pain,
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again
