Text: | In Christ there is no East or West |
Author: | John Oxenham |
Tune: | ST. PETER |
Composer: | Alexander R. Reinagle |
1 In Christ there is no East or West,
In Him no South or North;
But one great fellowship of love
Throughout the whole wide earth.
2 In Him shall true hearts everywhere
Their high communion find;
His service is the golden cord
Close binding all mankind.
3 Join hands, then, brothers of the faith,
Whate'er your race may be.
Who serves my Father as a son
Is 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.
Amen.
