The New English Hymnal ‎#480

480. 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 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.

3 In Christ now meet both East and West,
In him meet South and North,
All Christlike souls are one in him,
Throughout the whole wide earth.
