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,
for Christ to heal.
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.
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.
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.
Samuel Wolcott, 1869
Read john 1:37-45
Everyone needs Jesus. There is no more important mission we can undertake than to bring others to Christ. The need for Him has never been greater. People need healing and hope, and it can't be found anywhere else. Join in the work with “loving zeal.”
