I Sing a Song of the Saints of God
Author: Lesbia Scott Meter: Irregular Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:17-38 Lyrics: 1 I sing a song of the saints of God,
patient and brave and true,
who toiled and fought and lived and died
for the Lord they loved and knew.
And one was a doctor, and one was a queen,
and one was a shepherdess on the green:
they were all of them saints of God, and I mean,
God helping, to be one too.
2 They loved their Lord so dear, so dear,
and God’s love made them strong;
and they followed the right, for Jesus’ sake,
the whole of their good lives long.
And one was a soldier, and one was a priest,
and one was slain by a fierce wild beast:
and there’s not any reason, no, not the least,
why I shouldn’t be one too.
3 They lived not only in ages past;
there are hundreds of thousands still;
the world is bright with the joyous saints
who love to do Jesus’ will.
You can meet them in school, or in lanes, or at sea,
in church, or in trains, or in shops, or at tea;
for the saints of God are just folk like me,
and I mean to be one too.

Here from All Nations, All Tongues
Author: Christopher M. Idle (1938-) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:29-40, 12:1-2 First Line: Here from all nations, all tongues and all peoples Lyrics: 1 Here from all nations, all tongues, and all peoples,
countless the crowd, but their voices are one;
vast is the sight and majestic their singing:
"God has the victory: he reigns from the throne!"
2 These have come out of the hardest oppression;
now they may stand in the presence of God,
serving their Lord day and night in his temple,
ransomed and cleansed by the Lamb's precious blood.
3 Gone is their thirst, and no more shall they hunger;
God is their shelter, his power at their side;
sun shall not pain them, no burning will torture;
Jesus the Lamb is their shepherd and guide.
4 He will go with them to clear living water
flowing from springs which his mercy supplies.
Gone is their grief, and their trials are over;
God wipes away every tear from their eyes.
5 Blessing and glory and wisdom and power
be to the Savior again and again;
might and thanksgiving and honor forever
be to our God: alleluia! Amen. Topics: Heaven; The Saints Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA

Faith of the Ancients
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:33-34 First Line: Blest is the mem'ry of the just Lyrics: 1 Blest is the mem'ry of the just,
And sweet their slumbers in the dust!
Though lost; long lost to mortal eye,
Their well-earn'd fame shall never die.
2 In life's fair book the Patriarchs live;
Prophets and saints instruction give:
Though dead, they speak the truth divine,
And in example brightly shine.
3 My soul, these ancient heroes view;
Their faith, their love, their zeal pursue.
Warm'd by each word, and glorious deed,
In the same blessed path proceed.
4 O may I in their triumphs share,
When the great Savior shall appear,
to raise them up to high renown
And give them an immortal crown! Topics: Consummation of Things Death

Faith Begins by Letting Go
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11 Lyrics: 1 Faith begins by letting go,
giving up what had seemed sure,
taking risks and pressing on,
though the way feels less secure:
pilgrimage both right and odd,
trusting all our life to God.
2 Faith endures by holding on,
keeping memory’s roots alive
so that hope may bear its fruit;
promise-fed, our souls will thrive,
not through merit we possess
but by God’s great faithfulness.
3 Faith matures by reaching out,
stretching minds, enlarging hearts,
sharing struggles, living prayer,
binding up the broken parts;
till we find the commonplace
ripe with witness to God’s grace.
