Christ for the world we sing!

481 Kirby Bedon. 6. 6. 4. 6. 6. 6. 4.

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 joyful song;
   The new-born souls, whose days
   Reclaimed from sin’s dark ways,
   Inspired with hope and praise,
   To Christ belong.

4 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.
