Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #742 (2008) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Scripture: James 5:16-18 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 share 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. Topics: The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Communion of Saints Languages: English Tune Title: LAUDATE DOMINUM
