310. O God, Within Whose Sight

1 O God, within whose sight
All men have equal right
To worship Thee,
Break every bar that holds
Thy flock in diverse folds;
Thy will from none withholds
Full liberty.

2 Lord, set Thy churches free
From foolish rivalry.
Lord, make all free!
Let all past bitterness
Now and forever cease,
And all our souls possess
Thy charity.

Amen.
