詞：John Fawcett 1772
曲：Hans G. Nägeli "Dennis"
Blest be the tie that binds
基督真愛牽引
our hearts in Christian love;
愛裡我眾結繫
the fellowship of kindred minds
肢體雖眾一心以近
is like to that above.
天國可顯於世
Before our Father's throne
一心懇切禱告
we pour our ardent prayers;
我眾敬獻與父
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
憂驚安慰標竿渴慕
our comforts and our cares.
皆一所思所顧
We share each others' woes,
彼此分擔傷痛
our mutual burdens bear,
重擔也與眾受
and often for each other flows
悲憂同嘗甘苦與共
the sympathizing tear.
彼此矜恤淚流
When we asunder part,
分開雖覺心碎
it gives us inward pain;
你我遠隔兩地
but we shall still be joined in heart,
心中只盼一天再聚
and hope to meet again.
心意牽於千里
This glorious hope revives
緊握光輝之盼
our courage by the way;
賜我勇氣遠道
while each in expectation lives
彼此共懷不憂變幻
and longs to see the day.
只聽那日將到
From sorrow, toil, and pain,
一朝憂苦不再
and sin, we shall be free;
我眾脫去困累
and perfect love and friendship reign
真心完全千秋永在
through all eternity.
真愛不減不褪
