All Saints’ Day

THE CHURCH’S SAINTS

Grand feast of Saints—I’m overwhelmed
With richness of the Catholic Church,
A gift of God; we with them dwell
In Mother Mary’s tender touch.

We’re branches of Begotten’s vine;
We feel the love of Mother, sign
Of Father’s love in heart so warm–
Will last beyond the end of time

When all are gathered to Christ’s side
By Spirit, through her answer, “Yes,”
And all are born with Him who died,
Who came to be our human guest.

Forevermore the Church proclaims
Through lives of saints:  He’s one of us!
Now raised is He, the Church acclaims,
And always lives in all who trust.

The Church’s words are really His
Who cleanses us of sins last taint,
Defeats the Devil—now we live
With Michael and the Church’s saints.
