The attributed lyricist is actually a pseudonym for an English author who also wrote serialized fiction about a killer on the London Underground. Given that the tune itself is an African American spiritual and the text is about unity across lines of geography or race, that's either a nice indirect collaboration or cultural appropriation depending on who you ask.

The tune name is McKee, but since the tune names are always in small caps you have to look it up to see the capitalization. I'm going ahead and including it as "final verse same as the first" although it's not exactly the same, it's enough of a direct callback.
