MOSCOW. 0'C4. GG6 4.)

SASIUBr. WOLCOTT (1813-lSSfi).

ClHRIST for the world ! we sing ^The world to CTirist we bring With loving zeal — The poor, and them that mourn, The faint and overborne, Sin-sick and sorrow-worn, 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.

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.

Christ for the world ! we sing ; The world to Christ we bring

With joyful song ; — The new-born souls whose days. Reclaimed from error's ways. Inspired with hope and praise,

To Christ belong.
