They'll Know We Are Christians

"They'll Know We Are Christians" (also known as "They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love" or "We Are One in the Spirit") is a Christian hymn written in the 1960s[1] by then-Catholic priest, the late Fr. Peter Scholtes. It is inspired by John 13:35. The title of the hymn They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love originates in a phrase that non-believers used to describe Christians believers of early Church: "Behold, how they love one another."[2]

It was released on an LP of the same name featuring the congregation of Fr. Scholtes' church, St. Brendan's on the South Side of Chicago singing this hymn and others.[3]

Covers

The song has been covered by a variety of Christian recording artists, including Jars of Clay, Rebecca St. James, Lydia Walker, and For King & Country, which covered the song for the show "A.D, the Bible Continues." The song was also featured in the opening of the Christian movie, “A Distant Thunder.”
