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.           WHEN WE ASUNDER PART,

IT GIVES US INWARD PAIN;

BUT WE SHALL STILL BE JOINED IN HEART,

AND HOPE TO MEET AGAIN.
