Christ for the World We Sing

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

Whom Christ doth heal.

Christ for the world we sing

The world to Christ we bring

With fer­vent pray­er;

The way­ward and the lost

By rest­less pass­ions tossed

Redeemed at count­less cost

From dark des­pair.

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.

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.
