Hymn Parade 9.21.06

In Christ There Is No East or West
Text: John Oxenham
Music: Afro-American Spiritual; adapt. and harm. by Harry T. Burleigh
Tune: MCKEE, Meter: CM

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.

In Christ shall true hearts everywhere
their high communion find;
his service is the golden cord
close binding humankind.

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.
