624. In Christ there is no east or west

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 Christ shall true hearts everywhere
their high communion find,
his service is the golden cord
close-binding human kind.

3 Come, brothers, sisters of the faith,
whate'er your race may be:
whoever does my Father's will
is surely kin to me.

4 In Christ now meet both east and west,
in him meet south and north,
all Christ-like souls are one in him,
throughout the whole wide earth.
