305. 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 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:
One joyous, human family
Throughout the whole wide earth.
