Hymns from the Four Winds ‎#35

35. In Christ There Is No East or West

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 ev'rywhere
Their high communion find;
His service is the golden cord
Close binding all humankind.

3 Join hands, then, children of the faith,
Whate'er your race may be!
Who serves my Father as a child
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.
