Refrain: Christ for me, O herald wide the story! Praise His name, He gives me grace and glory; O’er and o’er I’ll tell the wondrous story, Christ for me and victory. 2 When the daily cares of life oppress me, And the gilded snares of sin distress me; This my cry, though Satan would possess me, Christ for me and victory. [Refrain] 3 Forward then with banners bravely flying, All the hosts of sin and wrong defying; On the mighty arm of God relying, Christ for me and victory.
