  5     5 4  5  -5 -4  -5    5  
Blessed b-e the t--ie that binds 
 5   5  4  5  5   4  5   -4
Our hearts in Christian love; 
-5  -5 -4 -5 5  6  6  6 5 -5   5 6
The fe-ll-ow-sh-ip of k-indred m-inds
-6 6 5   -5  5   4  -4 4
Is like that to that a-bove. 

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.

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
