Lyrics

Verse 1
In Christ there is no East or West,
In Him no South or North; (Acts 10:34-35, Gal. 3:28, Col. 3:11)
But one great fellowship of love
Throughout the whole wide earth.

Verse 2
In Him shall true hearts everywhere
Their high communion find;
His service is the golden cord,
Close binding humankind.

Verse 3
Join hands, then, members of the faith,
Whatever your race may be! (Acts 10:34-35)
Who serves My Father as His child
Is surely kin to Me. (Matt. 12:50, Mark 3:35, Luke 8:21)

Verse 4
In Christ now meet both East and West,
In Him meet North and South;
All Christly souls are one in Him (Gal. 3:28, John 11:52, Rom. 10:12, Eph. 4:3-6, Col. 3:11)
Throughout the whole wide earth.
