In Christ There Is No East or West
Author: John Oxenham, 1852-1941 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 331 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12 Lyrics: 1 In Christ there is no east or west,
In him no south or north,
But one great fam'ly bound by love
Throughout the whole wide earth.
2 In Christ shall true hearts ev'rywhere
Their high communion find;
His service is the golden cord,
Close-binding humankind.
3 Join hands, disciples of the faith,
Whate'er your race may be!
Who serve each other in Christ's love
Are 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.

God Is Here! As We His People
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:27-33 Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his people,
Meet to offer praise and prayer,
May we find in fuller measure
What it is in Christ we share:
Here, as in the world around us,
All our varied skills and arts
Wait the coming of his Spirit
Into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
Of our lifelong need of grace;
Here are table, font, and pulpit;
Here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
Here in silence, as in speech,
Here in newness and renewal
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
In the Shepherd's flock and fold,
Here, as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old;
Here the servants of the Servant
Seek in worship to explore
What it means in daily living
To believe and to adore.
4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
In an age of change and doubt,
Keep us faithful to the gospel,
Help us work your purpose out:
Here, in this day's dedication,
All we have to give, receive;
We who cannot live without you,
We adore you! We believe!

Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: Glory to God #306 (2013) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:27 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love.
The fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above.
2 Before our *Father's throne
we pour our ardent prayers.
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes;
our mutual burdens bear.
And often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear.
4 When we are called to part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.
5 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
and sin we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.
