1 A hymn of joy today we raise
for ministries and gifts,
for all the ways you bid us join
your cloud of witnesses.
2 Your faithful life, O Christ inspires;
your brokenness makes whole;
your resurrection calls us forth
and opens long-closed doors.
3 For all the saints whose lives shine forth
as templates of your grace,
we give you thanks and pledge our lives
in gratitude to trace.
4 Our world cries out to hear your name;
the church in mission risks
as men and women join to serve
for such a time as this.
