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.
