440. 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 Christ shall true hearts everywhere
Their high communion find;
His service is the golden cord,
Close-binding humankind.

3 Join hands, disciples of the faith,
Whate'er your race may be.
All children of the living God
Are 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.
