Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #33 (2009) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Topics: Christian unity First Line: No longer Jew or Greek, no longer slave or free-- Lyrics: No longer Jew or Greek, no longer slave or free—
In you, O Christ, we’re given wondrous unity.
Here in your church we learn that nothing can divide;
Here men and women, called by God, serve side by side.
No longer in your church should there be rich or poor—
You taught us kingdom values worth our struggling for.
Here some have wealth to give, and some, great faith to share.
The life we live together is an answered prayer.
No longer left or right, defending our own case—
O God, we’re sinners in your sight, in need of grace.
The common bond we know is Christ who sets us free;
In Christ we live and love and grow in unity.
O God, we look around and know (each one) our guilt;
By your own Spirit, now break down the walls we’ve built.
When we were all baptized, we died to our old ways;
A church diverse, yet one in Christ, we give you praise.
