Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 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, Whom Christ doth heal.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 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.
