Christ for the World

Author: Samuel Wolcott Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 420 hymnals First Line: Christ for the world we sing! Topics: Cross of Believer; Missions General; Soul Winning

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 113 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sound, sound the truth abroad; Bear ye the Word of God Through the wide world; Tell what our Lord hath done, Tell how the day is won, Tell from his lofty throne Satan is hurled. 2. Far over sea and land Go at your Lord’s command; Bear ye His name; Bear it to every shore, Regions unknown explore, Enter at every door: Silence is shame. 3. Speed on the wings of love; Jesus, who reigns above, Bids us to fly; They who His message bear Should neither doubt nor fear, He will their Friend appear, He will be nigh. 4. When on the mighty deep, He will their spirits keep, Stayed on His Word; When in a foreign land, No other friend at hand, Jesus will by them stand— Jesus, their Lord. 5. Ye who, forsaking all, At your loved Master’s call, Comforts resign; Soon will your work be done, Soon will the prize be won, Brighter than yonder sun, Then shall ye shine.

Lord, Thou hast known our joy, Building for Thine employ This house of prayer; As we Thy help have sought, With labor long have wrought, Our willing offerings brought, This work to share. 2. Now as we give it Thee Thine evermore to be, Who givest all, Come, Thou, O Lord divine, Make this Thy holy shrine Where Thy pure light may shine; O hear our call! 3. May this new temple prove True witness to Thy love, To all men free; May all who seek this door, And saving grace implore, Love one another more As they seek Thee. 4. O Christ, the Church’s head, Who for us all hast bled That we might live, Thy cross we lift on high This house to glorify; On Thee our hearts rely Thy power to give. 5. Lord, though these hours of praise, And all our earthly days Will soon be o’er, Still may these courts proclaim The glory of Thy name, O Thou, who art the same Forevermore!

Praises all heaven inspire; Each angel sweeps his lyre, And claps his wings of fire, Thou Lamb once slain! 3 Enter, incarnate God! No feet but Thine have trod The serpent down. Blow the full trumpets, blow, Wider yon portals throw, Savior, triumphant go And take Thy crown! 4. Lion of Judah, hail! And let Thy name prevail From age to age. Lord of the rolling years, Claim for Thine own the spheres For Thou hast bought with tears Thy heritage! Amen.
