Bound by Love’s Strong Cord

Bind me with love’s strong cord
In heart and soul and mind.
Kindness, peace, endurance—
Much more in love I find.

Commitment to family,
And loyalty to friends.
Bound by neighborly kindness
And peace that never ends.

Life’s dearest relations,
Preserved with golden tie.
And lasting communion,
Till the sweet bye and bye.

Bind me with love’s strong cord,
Until the day I die.
