Music composed by Hans Nägeli George (1773-1836)

(1)
Blessed be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;

(3)
We share each other's woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows

But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
(5)
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
