Song based on the Bible verse:
Hosea 11:4

With bands of love,
And I was to them as those who take the yoke from their [bneck.
I stooped and fed them.

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
[/one_half
[one_half_last
3
We share each other’s 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

This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way
While each in expectation lives
And longs to see the day
6
From sorrow toil and pain
And sin we shall be free
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity
