SDAH 350

Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above.

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.

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.

Notes

One person reflecting the character of Christ is a miracle that sheds light, lifting up Jesus for all to see. A whole church reflecting Jesus will show the world the existence of a divine power to resist and overcome evil that cannot be denied, calling them to make their choice to accept or reject Christ’s sacrifice for their salvation. (Lesson 4, 3rd Quarter 2022 -Thursday, Character and Community, 7/21/22

The earthly comfort of the marriage and family relationship can only spring when we have first formed a saving relationship with our Lord and Savior. Only with Jesus in the family can we have a happy home. (Lesson 8, 1st Quarter 2023, Managing for the Master – Sunday, “First Things First” 3/2/23)
