Author: William Arthur Dunkerley ('John Oxenham'), 1852-1941 Hymnal: Together in Song #459a (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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, then, peoples of the faith,
whate'er your race may be;
who serves my Father as his child
is surely kin to me.
4 In Christ now meet both east and west,
in him meet south and north,
all Christlike souls are one in him
throughout the whole wide earth.
