Christ for the world we sing! by F. Giardini — Lyrics
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 sorrowworn,
whom Christ doth 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.

About Christ for the world we sing!
This anthem, set to the familiar words of Christ for the world we sing!, calls for dedication to Christ's mission. The text expresses a fervent desire to bring all people to Christ, including the suffering, the lost, and the repentant. It speaks of sharing in Christ's work, bearing his cross, and offering him praise. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies to underscore the powerful message of redemption and communal service. The hymn tune itself, though originally from an earlier period, is here presented in a setting that emphasizes the urgent and hopeful call to action, making it a stirring choice for choirs seeking to convey a message of spiritual outreach and commitment.
