E              F#m   B  E     E   B     E  B7     E  B
Christ for the world we sing, The world to Christ we bring,
E           B
With loving zeal;
B         B7  E                B         B7  E
The poor, and them that mourn, The faint and overborne,

Sin-sick and sorrow-worn, Whom Christ doth heal.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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,
sinsick and sorrow-worn,
whom Christ doth heal.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 3]
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.
