En Cristo no hay oriente ni occidente

Representative Text

1 Ni oriente ni occidente hay

2 En Dios, los fieles* al Señor
su comunión tendrán,
y con los lazos de su amor
al mundo unirán.

3 ¡De razas no haya distinción,
obreros de la fe!
El que cual hijo, sirve a Dios,
hermano nuestro es.

4 Oriente y occidente en Él
se encuentran; y su amor
las almas une por la fe
en santa comunión.

* las fieles
