Tune: | MILTON ABBAS |
Composer: | Eric Thiman, 1900-1975 |
1 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.
2 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.
3 Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
with joyful song;
the new-born souls, whose days,
reclaimed from error's ways,
inspired with hope and praise,
to Christ belong.
