659. S. M. Fawcett.
Christian Fellowship.
1Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
2Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4From sorrow, toil, and sin,
Soon shall we all be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
