Author: | Samuel Wolcott, 1813-1886 |
Tune: | ITALIAN HYMN |
Composer: | Felice de Giardini, 1716-1796 |
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.
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.
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.
Amen.
