The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1023

1023. Let party names no more

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 Thus will the church below
Resemble that above,
Where streams of pleasure ever flow,
And every heart is love.

4 And, till we reach that place,
Our daily prayer shall be
That we may dwell before thee, Lord,
In love and unity.
