Blest Be the Tie that Binds ~ A beautiful story is told of the origin of this well-known hymn.  It was written by Pastor John Fawcett after he had spent nearly sixty years in ministry.  In 1772, after a few years in pastoral work, he was called to a prominent church in London. His farewell service had been preached in his country church in Yorkshire; the wagons were loaded with their belongings, and all was ready for departure.  But his loving brethren were heartbroken.  Men, women and children gathered and clung about him and his family with tearful faces.  Overwhelmed with the sorrow of those they were leaving, Dr. Fawcett and his wife sat down on one of the packing-cases and gave way to grief.  “Oh, John!” cried Mrs. Fawcett, “I cannot bear this!  I know not how to go!”  “Nor I, either,” returned her husband, “and we will not go.”  The parishioners were filled with intense joy and gratitude! Dr. Fawcett at once sent a letter to London explaining the case, and resolutely returned to his work on his pitifully small salary.  This hymn was written to commemorate the event.  It expresses sentiments so nearly universal that it is one of our hymns immortal.

Blest be the tie that binds, our hearts in Christian love,
            The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above!
            We share our mutual woes; Our mutual burdens bear;
            And often for each other flows the sympathizing tears.
            Our glorious hope revives our courage every day,
            While each in expectation strives to run the heavenly way.

Hebrews 10:24-25

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
