† All Saints’ Day †

NOVEMBER 1

CLEANSING FIRE

Across the years, your Church is radiant
With your light, shines through lives of all your saints,
As rainbow colors over earth they paint–
That we no longer be somnambulant
In night of sin, our storms no more lament
But greet your dawn with hearts no longer faint;
For see we now in them there’s no sin’s taint,
Your saints for whom the veil is finally rent.
Come, Father, make each be as one of them
To in your mercy wear Son’s Bloody crown
And die our deaths on Calvary with Him
That we may wear your Church’s wedding gown,
Join tongues with theirs to sing with angel choirs–
At last are cleansed by Holy Spirit’s fire.
