African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#557

557. 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 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.
