The Christian’s Love 95b

Tune: W. C. Givens, 1907
Lyrics: John Fawcett, 1782
Meter: Short Meter (6,6,8,6)
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.

When we asunder part
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
