Lyrics to the hymn, Christ For The World We Sing

Snowy trees



Introduction


Hello. I am a Mother of Gooses and a lover of hymns; I consider them to be a work of art. And they bring glory to God, our Creator and Redeemer, and Friend. 

A sunny snowy day


The Subject At Hand

Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Christ For The World We Sing; it was written in 1869 by Samuel Wolcott, and it is now published in 411 hymnals.

 If you don't know how the tune goes, I'll leave some links down below.

A mountain and a field


The Lyrics


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,

Sin-sick and sorrow-worn,

For 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 passion tossed,

Redeemed at countless cost 

From dark despair.

Verse 3 

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.

Verse 4

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.

Trees and a field


Afterwards


"Redeemed at countless cost."

Jesus Christ was perfect. He never sinned; He died on a cross and rose again after being dead for three days. And because of His sacrifice, we can go to Heaven.

If you aren't a Christian, all you have to do is believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross and rose again, and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. 

We have been redeemed by the blood of the Son of God. We have been redeemed at countless cost. 

The sky

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...
