- 1Christ for the world we sing;
- The world to Christ we bring,
- With loving zeal;
- The poor, and them that mourn,
- The faint and over-borne,
- Sin-sick and sorrow-worn,
- Whom Christ doth heal.
- 2Christ 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.
- 3Christ 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.
- 4Christ for the world we sing;
- The world to Christ we bring,
- With joyful song;
- The new-born souls, whose days,
- Reclaimed from error's ways,
- Inspired with hope and praise,
- To Christ belong.
