Blest be the tie that binds
Author: Dr. J. Fawcett, 1740-1817 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #531 (1917) Topics: Friendship Lyrics: 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 comfort and our cares.
3 We share each other's woes,
Each other's burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When for a while we part,
This thought will soothe our pain;
That we shall still be joined in heart,
And one day meet again.
5 One glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day,
6 When from all toil and pain,
And sin we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.

God's covenant mercies we review.

to God's great heart of love and light
your friends in Christ commit you now.

until, in God's all glorious dawn,
we meet before the throne at length. Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW

God Is One, Unique and Holy
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: RitualSong #623 (1996) Topics: Friendship Lyrics: 1 God is One, unique and holy,
endless dance of love and light,
only source of mind and body,
star-cloud, atom, day and night:
ev'ry thing that is or could be
tells God's anguish and delight.
2 God is Oneness-by-Communion,
never distant or alone,
at the heart of all belonging:
loyal friendship, loving home,
common mind and shared agreement,
common loaf and sung Shalom.
3 Through the pain that loving Wisdom
could foresee, but not forestall,
God is One, though torn and anguished
in the Christ's forsaken call;
One through death and resurrection;
One in Spirit, One for all. Languages: English Tune Title: [God is One, unique and holy]

Forgiven, loved, and free,
The life of Jesus to recall,
In love laid down for me.

To find, as all are fed,
The new community of love
In Christ's communion bread.

Each proud division ends.
The love that made us, makes us one,
And strangers now are friends.
4 The Spirit of the risen Christ,
Unseen, but ever near,
Is in such friendship better known,
Alive among us here.

By all that God has done,
We'll go with joy, to give the world
The love that makes us one. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Languages: English Tune Title: LAND OF REST
