My favorite hymnal ❤😢

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (June 22), I played this for Sunday School Assembly. However, it was to the tune, OLIVET, composed by Lowell Mason (1792-1872). It can also be sung to CUTTING, composed by William F. Sherwin (1826-1888).

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,
whom Christ doth heal.
2 Christ for the world we sing;
the world to Christ we bring
with fervent pray'r:
the wayward and the lost,
by restless passions tossed,
redeemed at countless cost
from dark despair.
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.
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.
