Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 339 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let party names no more
The Christian world o’erspread;
Gentile and Jew, and bond and free,
Are one in Christ, their Head.
2 Among the saints on earth
Let mutual love be found,
Heirs of the same inheritance
With mutual blessings crowned.
3 Let envy, child of hell!
Be banished far away:
Those should in strictest friendship dwell
Who the same Lord obey.
4 Thus will the church below
Resemble that above,
Where streams of pleasure ever flow,
And every heart is love. Used With Tune: BOYLSTON Text Sources: Bristol Baptist Collection of Asa and Evans, 1769
