Christ for the World We Sing!
Author: Samuel Wolcott, 1813-1886 Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 429 hymnals Topics: Gospel Call and Response Lyrics: 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. Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20 Used With Tune: ITALIAN HYMN

You That Know the Lord Is Gracious
Author: C. A. Alington Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Call and Response Lyrics: 1 You that know the Lord is gracious,
you for whom a cornerstone
stands, of God elect and precious,
laid that you may build thereon,
see that on that sure foundation
you a living temple raise,
towers that may tell forth salvatiton,
walls that may re-echo praise.
2 Living stones by God appointed
each to an allotted place,
kings and priests, by God anointed,
shall you not declare his grace?
You, a royal generation,
tell the tidings of your birth,
tidings of a new creation
to an old and weary earth.
3 Tell the praise of him who called you
out of darkness into light,
broke the fetters that enthralled you,
gave you freedom, peace, and sight:
tell the tale of sins forgiven,
strength renewed, and hope restored,
till the earth, in tune with heaven,
praise an magnify the Lord. Scripture: Isaiah 60:18 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Before the Cross of Jesus
Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard, 1876-1968 Meter: 7.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Gospel Call and Response Lyrics: 1 Before the cross of Jesus
Our lives are judged today;
The meaning of our eager strife
Is tested by His Way.
Across our restless living
The light streams from His cross,
And by its clear, revealing beams
We measure gain and loss.
2 The hopes that lead us onward,
The fears that hold us back,
Our will to dare great things for God,
The courage that we lack,
The faith we keep in goodness,
Our love, as low or pure -
On all, the judgment of the cross
Falls steady, clear, and sure.
3 Yet humbly, in our striving,
O God, we face its test.
We crave the pow'r to do Thy will
With Him who did it best.
On us let now the healing
Of His great Spirit fall,
And make us brave and full of joy
To answer to His call. Scripture: Revelation 14:4-6 Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

He Sat to Watch O'er Customs Paid
Author: William Bright Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Call and Response Lyrics: 1 He sat to watch o'er customs paid,
a man of scorned and hard'ning trade;
alike the symbol and the tool
of foreign masters' hated rule.
2 But grace within his heart had stirred;
there needed but the timely word;
it came, true Lord of souls, from thee,
that royal summons, "Follow me!"
3 Enough, when thou wast passing by,
to hear thy voice, to meet thine eye;
he rose, responsive to the call
and left his task, his gains, his all.
4 O wise exchange! with these to part,
and lay up treasures in the heart;
let them of Matthew's wealth partake,
who yield up all for Jesus' sake.
Scripture: Matthew 9:9 Used With Tune: BROCKHAM
