Light and Life Songs ‎#17

17. One in the Lord

1 Carry the joyful tidings
To ev’ry land and sea;
Banish the heart dividings,—
Brothers should brothers be;
Christ died for all the nations,
“One flesh and blood,” saith He;
There are no tribes or stations;
One in the Lord are we.

2 God who hath lent His talents,
Bids us His service choose;
God who hath lent His riches,
Bids us in kindness use;
God who hath freedom given,
Calls us to make it known,
He is preparing heaven
Not for ourselves alone.

3 Souls on the Orient mountains,
Souls in the northern snows,
Souls by the southern fountains,
Souls where the sunset glows!
Souls out of Christ the Savior;
Oh, for a church of love,
Bearing the priceless favor,
Pointing the lost above!
