Lyrics

The Church of God is one:
As breth­ren here we meet;
For us sal­va­tion’s work is done,
In Christ we stand com­plete.

Refrain

The Church of God is one,
Is one in faith and love,
Is one in the death by Je­sus borne,
One in His life ab­ove.

The Church of God is one:
One on­ly Lord we know;
We wor­ship Je­sus, God’s own Son,
Who came God’s love to show.

Refrain

The Church of God is one:
All, sin­ners saved by grace;
Our plea, the pre­cious blood alone;
The cross, our meet­ing place.

Refrain

The Church of God is one:
The Bi­ble we re­vere;
By it all sav­ing truth is known,
And God to man brought near.

Refrain

The Church of God is one:
One bless­èd hope have we;
Our dear Re­deem­er’s sure re­turn
His saints to glo­ri­fy.
