We sing for all the unsung saints
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr (b. 1944) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #311 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 We sing for all the unsung saints,
that countless, nameless throng,
who kept the faith and passed it on
with hope steadfast and strong,
through all the daily griefs and joys
no chronicles record,
forgetful of their lack of fame,
but mindful of their Lord.
2 Though uninscribed with date or place,
with title, rank, or name,
as living stones their stories join
to form a hallowed frame
around the mystery in their midst:
the Lamb once sacrificed,
the Love that wrested life from death,
the wounded, risen Christ.
3 So we take heart from unknown saints
bereft of earthly fame,
those faithful ones who have received
a more enduring name:
for they reveal true blessing comes
when we our pride efface
and offer back our lives to be
the vessels of God's grace. Topics: Communion of Saints; Discipleship; Jesus Names and images for; Self-offering; Saints Scripture: Acts 9:15 Languages: English Tune Title: LADYWELL

Lift Up Your Voice, Ye Christian Folk
Author: P. H. B. Lyon Hymnal: Christian Praise #135 (1964) Hymnal Title: Christian Praise Lyrics: 1 Lift up your voice, ye Christian folk,
To praise the Holy One,
Who ransoms us from Satan’s yoke
Through Christ, His blessed Son.
Lo, we who were in grievous state
By reason of our sin,
Our heads look up, our fears abate,
Our triumphs now begin.
2 The mists hung cold, the night was black,
About the way we trod;
Our feet were stumbling from the track
Which leads the soul to God.
But Christ, who broke from death’s dark shroud,
Hath sent His quickening rays;
The sun breaks through the drifting cloud,
And now glorious day.

A city radiant as a bride
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Common Praise #364 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: Common Praise Lyrics: 1 A city radiant as a bride
and bright with gold and gem,
a crystal river clear and wide,
the new Jerusalem;
a city wrought of wealth untold,
her jewelled walls aflame
with green and amethyst and gold
and colours one can name.
2 A holy city, clear as glass,
where saints in glory dwell;
through gates of pearl her people pass
to fields of asphodel.
In robes of splendour, pure and white,
they walk the golden floor,
where God himself shall be their light
and night shall be no more.
3 A city ever new and fair,
the Lamb's eternal bride;
no suffering or grief is there
and every tear is dried.
There Christ prepares for us a place,
from sin and death restored,
and we shall stand before his face,
the ransomed of the Lord. Topics: The City; Saints; Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Scripture: Isaiah 35:2 Languages: English Tune Title: LADYWELL

Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #616 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: Rejoice in the Lord Lyrics: 1 O God, we praise thee, and confess
that thou the only Lord
and everlasting Father art,
by all the earth adored.
To thee all angels cry aloud;
to thee the pow'rs on high,
both cherubim and seraphim,
continually do cry.
2 O holy, holy, holy Lord,
whom heav'nly hosts obey,
the world is with the glory filled
of thy majestic ray.
Th'apostles' glorious company
and prophets crowned with light,
with all the martyrs' noble host
thy constant praise recite.
3 The holy church throughout the world,
O Lord, confesses thee,
that thou eternal Father art
of boundless majesty.
Thy honored, true, and only Son,
and Holy Ghost, the spring
of endless joy, the Lord of life:
blest Trinity we sing.
4 O Christ, of glory thou art King,
who from on high didst come
to save us all, and didst not then
disdain the virgin's womb.
And, having overcome the sting
of death, thou open'st wide
the gates of heav'n to all who firm
in thy belief abide.
