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.
