In him no south or north,
But one great fam'ly bound by love
Throughout the whole wide earth.
2 In him shall true hearts ev'rywhere
Their high communion find;
His service is the golden cord
Close binding humankind.
3 Join hands, disciples in the faith,
Whate'er your race may be!
Who serve each other in Christ's love
Are surely kin to me.
4 In Christ now meet both east and west,
In him meet south and north,
All Christly souls are one in him,
Throughout the whole wide earth.
