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 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.
?
[Optional 5.] When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again.
