Rejoice in God's Saints
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #708 (1989) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth Communion of the Saints; New Heaven and a New Earth Communion of the Saints; Christian Year All Saints Day; Closing Hymns; Discipleship and Service; Social Concerns 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.
