Let Party Names No More.

by (1839–1905)

Listen in the reader

Let party names no more The Christian world o'erspread; Gentile and Jew, and bond and free, Are one in Christ the Head.

This hymn of Rev. Benjamin Beddome sounds like a prelude to the grand rally of the Christian Churches a generation later for united advance into foreign fields. It was an after-sermon hymn--like so many of Watts and Doddridge--and spoke a good man's longing to see all sects stand shoulder to shoulder in a common crusade.

Tune--Boylston.
