We sing for all the unsung saints
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr (b. 1944) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #311 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern 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 mystery 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. Topics: Communion of Saints; Discipleship; Jesus Names and images for; Self-offering; Saints Scripture: Acts 9:15 Languages: English Tune Title: LADYWELL
