All Souls’ Day

In hope of life anew with Him we die
And know we must be purged, of sin remains,
By Him no longer in His tomb here lies
But comes to us His brothers, sisters claim.

With gratitude at last we say goodbye
To sin that in this life to our hearts clings
And say “begone” to Devil and his lies
As we hear angels up above us sing.

The mist of mercy we go through now clears,
And everlasting dawn the darkness ends;
In purgatory we leave all our fears
As He the heart of each of us now mends.

We knew that when we entered mercy’s mist
Its clear, bright light was Jesus’ welcome kiss.
