Author: John Oxenham, 1852-1941 Hymnal: Common Praise #477 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 humankind.
3 Join hands, then, children of the faith,
whate'er your race may be;
who serves my Father as his child
is surely kin to me.
4 In Christ now meet both east and west,
in him meet south and north;
all Christlike souls are one in him,
throughout the whole wide earth. Topics: Lent IV Year C; Proper 5 Year B; Proper 15 Year A; Peace and Justice; Unity Scripture: Colossians 3:11 Languages: English Tune Title: KILMARNOCK
