Down the ranks of the saved send the rous­ing call,
Christ for the world! Christ for the world!
As He died for the few, so He died for all—
Christ for the world! we sing.
By the sign of the cross we must self o’er­throw;
By the sign of the cross we must on­ward go;
By the sign of the cross we His pow­er must show—
Christ for the world! we sing.

To the re­gions be­yond let His ar­mies move—
Christ for the world! Christ for the world!
That the na­tions in dark­ness His love may prove—
Christ for the world! we sing.
By the sign of the cross we must en­ter in,
By the sign of the cross we must war and win,
By the sign of the cross we must con­quer sin—
Christ for the world! we sing.

To the ends of the earth let the call re­sound—
Christ for the world! Christ for the world!
That His praise may be spok­en the world around—
Christ for the world! we sing.
By the pow­er of the cross shall the world be swayed;
In the love of the cross all its ills be stayed;
In the light of the cross all its false lights fade—
Christ for the world! we sing.
