We sang this hymn (the Spanish version of “Blest Be the Tie That Binds”) with the church at Lejem in the Huasteca Potosina this past week. I thought it was very appropriate, as we were Christian family, even though this was the first time I had met many of them.
Sagrado es el amor
Que nos ha unido aquรญ,
A los que creemos del Seรฑor
La voz que llama a sรญ.A nuestro Padre Dios
Roguemos con fervor,
Alรบmbrenos la misma luz,
Nos una el mismo amor.Nos vamos a ausentar,
Mas nuestra firme uniรณn
Jamรกs podrรกse quebrantar,
Por la separaciรณn.Un dรญa en la eternidad
Nos hemos de reunir,
Que Dios nos lo conceda, harรก,
El fรฉrvido pedir.
