‘Christ for the World We Sing’

[We’re not late! Suddenly it’s Daylight Savings Time.]

I always loved this hymn: Christ for the World We Sing, by Felice de Guardini. I remember him from our Sunday school hymnal.

Sung by the congregation at the Church of Christ.

‘Christ for the World We Sing’

I don’t know which is better: to be in the church when everybody’s singing this hymn–Christ for the World We Sing–or to be outside on the sidewalk on a lush green Sunday in the spring, listening to it.

Both are awfully good.

‘Christ for the World We Sing’

This was the first hymn that came to mind this morning, so here it is–Christ for the World We Sing, sung by the choir at the First Methodist Church in Houston. I don’t know about you, but this one’s going to my heart.

‘Come, Thou Almighty King’

Our church used to ring when we sang this hymn–Come, Thou Almighty King. The same melody supports Christ for the World We Sing… At least, that’s how I remember it.

‘Christ for the World We Sing’

This hymn was waiting for me when I woke up this morning, I just had to post it, so here it is: Christ for the World We Sing, sung by the choir and congregation of St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, New York City.

‘Christ for the World We Sing’

This hymn was on my mind last night, so I thought I’d better jot it down and post it this morning–Christ for the World We Sing, here sung by the choir at the First Methodist Church, Houston.

By Request, ‘Christ for the World We Sing’

Scanning nooze today has left a foul taste in my mouth: let us break for something sane and wholesome. Besides, when your wife requests a hymn, you ought to post it.

Christ for the World We Sing, with Mark Wooten singing all the parts a capella, by means of fancy technology. But it’s quite nice, and that’s why it’s here. We all need a little extra hymn now and then.

‘Christ for the World We Sing’

It’s wonderful to hear this great old hymn again–Christ for the World We Sing. Music by Felice de Giardini–and for some reason I’ve always remembered that name, since I first saw it in the hymnal.

The virtual choir is from Houston, TX.

‘Christ for the World We Sing’

I don’t know who’s singing this, but I do know this: we very urgently need to bring the world to Jesus Christ–the only one whose right it is to rule it.

Christ for the World We Sing–today’s first hymn.

‘Christ for the World We Sing’

We have no king but Jesus Christ.
