Sunday Hymn: Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Saturday, March 24, 2012 at 10:15PM Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in 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 part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.
From sorrow, toil and pain,
And sin, we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
—John Fawcett

I have always loved this hymn, and even more so when I recently heard the sweet story that inspired it.
Thanks so much for linking me too.
Blessings to you Rebecca.
