Author: Margaret Clarkson Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: John 17 First Line: For all the world Christ died to purchase pardon Lyrics: 1 For all the world Christ died to purchase pardon,
for all the world, exalted now, he prays;
his risen life avails for all earth's people -
how few yet know his word and walk his ways!
2 With all the world the church must share Christ's message,
his word of light, forgiveness, freedom, grace:
not ours alone the glad release he offers -
his love embraces all his human race.
3 In all our world, wherever God may place us,
at home, abroad, in farthest parts of earth,
our highest joy must be to serve our Savior,
and all we are must speak his pow'r and worth.
4 In all our world - in fact'ry, shop or schoolroom,
in kitchen, boardroom, market, office, mill,
we each must make our witness known with boldness -
God's Spirit works through mortal mind and will.
5 Lord, make us strong to live your gospels fulness,
through sin's long strife, for Christ to take our place,
till all your world shall bow as one before you,
to see, adore, and serve you face to face! Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Christian Service; Discipleship; Labor and laborers; Life in Christ; Redemption of humankind; Spread of the Gospel Used With Tune: WELWYN
