Rejoice in God's Saints
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1930 Hymnal: WOV #689 (1995) Meter: 10.10.11.11 First Line: Rejoice in God's saints today and all days 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.

Restore in Us, O God
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: WOV #662 (1995) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Restore in us, O God,
the splendor of your love;
renew your image in our hearts,
and all our sins remove.
2 O Spirit, wake in us
the wonder of your power,
from fruitless fear unfurl our lives
like springtime bud and flower.
3 Bring us, O Christ, to share
the fullness of your joy;
baptize us in the risen life
that death cannot destroy.
4 Three-personed God, fulfill
the promise of your grace,
that we, when our searching ends,
may see you face to face.
