168 Christ for the World We Sing
(ITALIAN HYMN. 6, 6, 4, 6, 6, 6, 4)
Samuel Wolcott, 1869 Felice de Giardini, 1769
 
  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,
    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 passion tossed,
    Redeemed at countless cost
    From dark despair.
  3. 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. Amen.
