370. Christ for the World

G              Am    D  G     G   D     G  D7     G  D
Christ for the world we sing, The world to Christ we bring,
G           D
With loving zeal;
D         D7  G                D         D7  G
The poor, and them that mourn, The faint and overborne,
G                         Am   D      D7   G
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.
