Text:In Christ There Is no East or West
Author (sts. 1, 2, 4):John Oxenham
Tune:ST PETER
Adapter:Alexander R. Reinagle, 1799-1877

230. 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, then, brothers of the faith,
Whate'er your race may be.
Who serves my Father as a son
Is surely kin to me.

4 In Christ now meet both East and West,
In Him meet South and North;
All Christly souls are one in Him
Throughout the whole wide earth.

AMEN.
