Verse 2 SAME AS 1

Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.

verse 3 SAME AS 1 

We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

verse 4 SAME AS 1

When we asunder part
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again
