Verse 1
The poor, despised and overborne,
The faint, the weak, and those who mourn,
The plagued and sin-sick, sorrow-worn,
Our Christ can heal, with loving zeal
Verse 2
The wandering, the wayward, and the lost
By restless passions, conflicted, tossed,
Redeemed at such a countless cost
From dark despair, in triumph declare
Chorus
Christ for the world, we sing, the world to Christ we bring
All of its suffering untold
Every tribe and tongue into the strong arms of God
Christ for the world, Christ for the world we sing!
(To Verse 3: | Bb | Gm | Eb | )
(To Bridge: | Bb | )
Verse 3
Revived and new-born souls, whose days
Reclaimed and ransomed from sin s dark ways,
Inspired with rising hope and praise,
To Christ belong, and lift a joyful song
Bridge
With us the work to share, with us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear in one accord
With us the work to share, with us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear for our Lord
Outro: Same as the Intro, end on Bb
