SONG: IN CHRIST THERE IS NO EAST OR WEST
Artist: Cathedral Choral Society, Washington National Cathedral
Words/Music: John Oxenham/Trad African-American, adapted Harry Burleigh
Recording: Gothic G49112
In Christ there is no east or west,
In him no south or north,
But one great fellowship of love
Thru'out the whole wide Earth.
In him shall true hearts ev'rywhere
Their high communion find.
His service is the golden cord
Close binding humankind.
Join hands, then, children of the faith,
Whate'er your race may be!
Who serves my Father as a child
Is surely kin to me.
In Christ now meet both east and west,
In him meet south and north;
All Christly souls are one in him,
Thru'out the whole wide Earth.
SONG: JERUSALEM THE GOLDEN
Artist: Choir of Wells Cathedral, Malcolm Archer (dir), Rupert Gough (organ)
