Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days!

Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: All Saints' (Sun)day Year A Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days! A world without saints forgets how to praise. Their faith in acquiring the habit of prayer, their depth of adoring, Lord, help us to share. 2 Some march with events to turn them God's way; some need to withdraw, the better to pray; some carry the gospel through fire and through flood: our world is their parish: their purpose is God. 3 Rejoice in those saints, unpraised and unknown, who bear someone's cross, or shoulder their own: they shame our complaining, our comforts, our cares: what patience in caring, what courage, is theirs! 4 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days! A world without saints forgets how to praise. In loving, in living, they prove it is true: the way of self-giving, Lord, leads us to you. Scripture: Hebrews 11 Used With Tune: HANNOVER

Amen. Used With Tune: [Let saints on earth in concert sing]

Brun Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: All Saints Day High Mass; All Saints Day High Mass; All Saints Day For Evening Lyrics: 1 Lad os bede Lysets Fader, Som sit Navn blandt os har sat At han os ei overlader Til en hedensk Visdoms Nat! At ei nogen andet veed Sig til Trøst og Salighed, End den Gud og Mand, som døde For vor Syndeskyld og Brøde! 2 Giv din Kirke Mænd og Fædre, Som er dig og Sandhed tro! Alle dannes til det Bedre, Klinten visne, Hveden gro! Troskab Løn af Naade faa, Hykleri til Skamme staa! Sandhed herske, Løgn adspredes, Gudsfrygt æres, Kirken fredes! 3 Da vi glædes kan med Rette Paa vor Alle-Heldens-Dag. Gud den Helligaand udrette I os Herrens Velbehag, Kalde og forsamle her Til at møde engang der, Hvor vi evig skulle smage Alle Helgens Frydedage!
