We Sing for All the Unsung Saints

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. b. 1944 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #678 (2006) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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 myst'ry 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.

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Bishop Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Hymnal #271a (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save: Like Him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame: They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed: They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train!

Far, Far Away Is Bethlehem

Author: Walter Russell Bowie, 1882- Hymnal: The Abingdon Song Book #63 (1938) Lyrics: 1 Far, far away is Bethlehem, And years are long and dim Since Mary held the holy Child And angels sang to Him; But still to hearts where love and faith Make room for Chris tin them; He comes again, the Child from God, To find His Bethlehem. 2 Beyond the sea is Galilee, And ways which Jesus trod; And hidden there are those high hills Where He communed with God; Yet on the plains of common life Thro’ all the world of men, The voice that once said “Follow Me” Speaks to our hearts again. 3 O Life that seems so long ago, And yet is ever new, The fellowship of love with Thee, Thro’ all the years is true. O Master over death and time, Reveal Thyself we pray; And as before amongst Thine own, So dwell with us today. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS, NEW

At Length There Dawns the Glorious Day

Author: Ozora S. Davis Hymnal: The Hymnal for Boys and Girls #70 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 At length there dawns the glorious day By prophets long foretold, At length the chorus clearer grows That shepherds heard of old. The day of dawning brotherhood Breaks on our eager eyes, And human hatreds flee before The radiant eastern skies. 2 For what are sund’ring strains of blood, Or ancient caste and creed? One claim unites all men in God To serve each human need. Then here together, brother men, We pledge the Lord anew Our loyal love, our stalwart faith, Our service strong and true. 3 One common faith unites us all, We seek one common goal; One tender comfort broods upon The struggling human soul. To this clear call of brotherhood Our hearts responsive ring; We join the glorious new crusade Of our great Lord and King. Amen. Topics: World Friendship Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW
