[Verse 1]
G D G
Blest be the tie that binds
C G D
Our hearts in Christian love;
D7 G D G
The fel - low - ship of kindred minds
G7 D7 G
Is like to that a - bove.
[Verse 2]
G D G
Before our Father’s throne
C G D
We pour our ar - dent prayers;
D7 G D G
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
G7 D7 G
Our comforts and our cares.
[Verse 3]
G D G
We share our mutual woes,
C G D
Our mu - tual burden’s bear;
D7 G D G
And of - ten for each oth – er flows
G7 D7 G
The sympa - thizing tear.
[Verse 4]
G D G
When we a – sunder part,
C G D
It gives us in - ward pain;
D7 G D G
But we shall still be joined in heart,
G7 D7 G
And hope to meet a - gain.
