Through All the World a Hungry Christ
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #213 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Through all the world a hungry Christ
must scavenge far for daily bread,
must beg the rich for crumb and crust.
We are the rich, the daily fed.
2 Beyond the church a leper Christ
takes each untouchable by hand,
gives hope to those who have no trust,
whose stigma is our social brand.
3 In torture cell, a pris'ner Christ
for justice and for truth must cry
to free the innocent oppressed
while we at liberty pass by.
4 We do not know you, beggar Christ,
we do not recognize your sores,
we do not see, for we are blind:
forgive us, touch us, make us yours.
