Original text and translations

English text 1. Let party names no more The Christian world o’erspread, Gentile and Jew, and bond and free Are one in Christ their head. 2. Among the saints on earth Let mutual love be found; Heirs of the same inheritance, With mutual blessings crowned.

3. Let bitterness and wrath Be banished far away; Those should in strictest friendship dwell Who the same Lord obey. 4. Thus will the church below Resemble that above, Where streams of endless pleasure flow, And every heart is love
