Christ for the World We Sing

 

1 

Christ for the world we sing;

the world to Christ we bring

with loving zeal:

the poor and them that mourn,

the faint and overborne,

sin-sick and sorrow-worn,

for Christ doth heal.

2 

Christ for the world we sing;

the world to Christ we bring

with fervent pray'r:

the wayward and the lost,

by restless passions tossed,

redeemed at countless cost

from dark despair.

3 

Christ for the world we sing;

the world to Christ we bring

with one accord:

with us the work to share,

with us reproach to dare,

with us the cross to bear,

for Christ our Lord.

4 

Christ for the world we sing;

the world to Christ we bring

with joyful song:

the newborn souls whose days,

reclaimed from error's ways,

inspired with hope and praise,

to Christ belong.
