Text: John Fawcett
Music: Johann G. Nageli
Arranged by: Lowell Mason
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.
Greetings from Wordwise Hymns. Thanks for the text and audio rendition of John Fawcett's hymn. It caught my eye because I posted an article on the hymn myself today. Christian community is a wonderful thing, often spanning the miles and linking us with brothers and sisters in Christ who are far away. God bless.
