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 In Christ shall true hearts evErywhere
their high communion find;
his service is the golden cord
close binding humankind.

3 Join hands, companions in the faith,
whate’er your race may be!
Who loves and serves the living God
is surely kin to me.

4 In Christ now meet both east and west;
in him meet south and north;
all Christly souls one in him,
throughout the whole wide earth.
