Lyrics

The love of God, whose sac­red bond,
Nor life nor death can se­ver,
Thro’ grace di­vine has made us one,
In Christ the Lord for­ev­er.

Refrain

Then shout and sing,
Though time may bring
Its clouds of care and sor­row;
The gold­en ray they veil to­day
Will bright­er shine to­mor­row.

If one in Christ, what joy is ours,
Thro’ faith His smile be­hold­ing,
We dwell se­cure, our an­chor sure,
His arm our souls en­fold­ing.

Refrain

Yes, one in Christ, and He in us,
The hope of end­less glo­ry,
We jour­ney on while sweet­er grows
Redemption’s grand old sto­ry.

Refrain

To sin­ners now, we’ll glad­ly tell
His love so free­ly flow­ing,
And help them find the land of song
To which we now are go­ing.
