Sunday Praise

Blessed Be the Tie that Binds

 Blessed be the tie that binds 

Our hearts in Christian love; 

The fellowship of kindred minds

Is like that 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.

 This glorious hope revives 

Our courage by the way; 

While each in expectation lives, 

And longs to see the day.

 From sorrow, toil and pain, 

And sin, we shall be free,

And perfect love and friendship reign 

Through all eternity.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Theodore Roosevelt
