In Christ there is no east or west by Neil Dougall — Lyrics
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.

About In Christ there is no east or west
Neil Dougall sets the familiar words of John Oxenham’s hymn In Christ there is no east or west. This powerful anthem for SATB choir reflects the text’s message of Christian unity, transcending geographical and racial divisions. The composer’s setting embraces the inclusive spirit of the lyrics, suggesting a single, binding fellowship of love through Christ. Dougall’s arrangement serves as a profound musical expression of the hymn’s central idea: that all true hearts, regardless of their origin, find their communion and kinship in Christ’s service, binding all mankind together in a shared spiritual journey.
