Poem Words (Four verses)
1.
Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the unity of heart and mind
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.
From sorrow, toil, and pain,
and sin we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.
