Sheet music

  1. 1Christ 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.
  2. 2Christ 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 costFrom dark despair.
  3. 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.
