Christ for the World

Lyrics by
Samuel Wolcott (1869)
Music by
Isaac Baker Woodbury (1869)
Tune
CHRIST FOR THE WORLD · 8.7.8.7.D
Scripture
1 Corinthians 15:57
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.

A hymn celebrating Christ's supremacy and the Christian mission of universal evangelism.
