370. Christ for the World

C              Dm    G  C     C   G     C  G7     C  G
Christ for the world we sing, The world to Christ we bring,
C           G
With loving zeal;
G         G7  C                G         G7  C
The poor, and them that mourn, The faint and overborne,
C                         Dm   G      G7   C
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.
