825. Christ for the world, we sing

1 Christ for the world, we sing;
The world to Christ we bring
With loving zeal;
The poor and those who 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 one accord;
With us the work to share,
With us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear,
For Christ our Lord.
