In Christ there is No East Or West, by John Oxenham (1852-1941)

Please help us share God's truths and hope in Christ.

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 Him shall true hearts everywhere
Their high communion find.
His service is the golden cord
Close-binding all mankind.

Join hands then, Brothers of the Faith,
Whatever your race may be!–
Who serves my Father as a son
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,
Throughout the whole wide earth.

About John Oxenham (1852-1941)

William Arthur Dunkerley (12 November 1852 – 23 January 1941) was born in Manchester, England, and spent a short time in America before moving to West London, where he served as a deacon and teacher at the Ealing Congregational Church, circa the 1880s. In 1922, he moved to Worthing in Sussex and became mayor. As a poet, hymn, and novel writer, he wrote under John Oxenham.

Words of Wisdom from the Cloud of Witnesses: "Cloud of Witnesses" refers to those in Heaven who have run their races and are now with the Lord. Their words of wisdom are filled with faith, hope, love, and joy that warm our souls. Their words present the eternal truths of God that grow us and give us joy. And their words strengthen our souls, equip our minds, encourage our hearts, and empower us to stand firm in our faith and be motivated, ready, and willing to share the hope we have in Jesus.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith...(Hebrews 12:1-2)
