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.
