Author: | Samuel Wolcott, 1813-1886 |
Tune: | MILTON ABBAS |
Composer: | Eric H. Thiman, 1900-1975 |
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 to 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 to live always,
inspired with hope and praise,
to Christ belong.
