Verse 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
Verse 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
Verse 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
Verse 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
Their way of self-giving Lord leads us to you
