Ecumenical Praise ‎#86

86. 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.
