I sing a song of the saints of God

Author: Lesbia Scott, 1898-1986 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #820 (2010) Meter: Irregular Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days All Saints Lyrics: 1 I sing a song of the saints of God, patient and brave and true, who toiled and fought and lived and died for the Lord they loved and knew. And one was a doctor, and one was a queen, and one was a shepherdess on the green: they were all of them saints of God – and I mean, God helping, to be one too. 2 They loved their Lord so dear, so dear, and his love made them strong; and they followed the right, for Jesus’ sake, the whole of their good lives long. And one was a soldier, and one was a priest, and one was slain by a fierce wild beast: and there’s not any reason – no, not the least, why I shouldn’t be one too. 3 They lived not only in ages past, there are hundreds of thousands still, the world is bright with the joyous saints who love to do Jesus’ will. You can meet them in school, or in lanes, or at sea, in church, or in trains, or in shops, or at tea, for the saints of God are just folk like me, and I mean to be one too.

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

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #821 (2010) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days All Saints 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. Languages: English Tune Title: HANOVER

Soldiers, who are Christ's below

Author: Anonymous; John Haldenby Clark, c1840-1888 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #822 (2010) Meter: Irregular Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days All Saints Lyrics: 1 Soldiers, who are Christ's below, strong in faith resist the foe: boundless is the pledged reward unto them who serve the Lord. 2 'Tis no palm of fading leaves that the conqueror's hand receives; joys are his, serene and pure, light that ever shall endure. 3 For the souls that overcome waits the beauteous heavenly home, where the blèssed evermore tread, on high, the starry floor. 4 Passing soon and little worth are the things that tempt on earth; heavenward lift thy soul's regard; God himself is thy reward. 5 Father, who the crown dost give, Saviour, by whose death we live, Spirit, who our hearts dost raise, Three in One, thy name we praise.

Who are these like stars appearing

Author: Heinrich Theobald Schenck, 1656-1727; Frances Elizabeth Cox, 1812-1897 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #823 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days All Saints Lyrics: 1 Who are these like stars appearing, these, before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing: who are all this glorious band? Alleluia, hark! They sing, praising loud their heav'nly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, clothed in God's own righteousness, these, whose robes of purest whiteness shall their lustre still possess, still untouched by time's rude hand? Whence came all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended for their Saviour's honour long, wrestling on till life was ended, following not the sinful throng; these, who well the fight sustained, triumph by the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, sore with woe and anguish tried, who in prayer full oft have striven with the God they glorified; now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These, the Almighty contemplating, did as priests before him stand, soul and body always waiting day and night at his command: new in God's most holy place blest they stand before his face.
