********
Counted among the saints, Lord such your grace
Here your lovingkindness, mercies we trace
Following you, our steps with even pace
Alleluia, Alleluia!
The ransomed host, they all by you redeemed
When all despair and destitute it seemed
Then your love shone on us, so bright it beamed
Alleluia, Alleluia!
We could not save ourselves, you did us aid
Christ your Son, the price for our sins He paid
We may now approach you, bold, unafraid
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Give strength and help, that we serve you all days
Your Spirit, guide and teach us in your ways
And all our doubts, distractions, He allays
Alleluia, Alleluia!
O victory song, proclaiming loud and long
Joining in praise with all the heavenly throng
We Christ-bought people, to Him we belong
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Begone all darkness, Eve of All Hallows (Halloween)
Christ the Light of the world, to all He shows
And evil, darkness too His triumph knows
Alleluia, Alleluia!
By grace we are saved through faith, it so be
All may partake of Christ\'s offering, see
His perfect sacrifice for you and me
Alleluia, Alleluia!
For how else such a procession so grand
Marches through time, the Saviour\'s chosen band?
Forward, possessing the spiritual land
Alleluia, Alleluia!
\'Til Rapture dawns, eternal shore shines bright
It glorious, resplendent to our sight
There we abide, eternal day, no night
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Inspire us Lord, with this hope fresh, anew
Strengthened to go on, each day follow you
Until for e\'er your beauteous face we view
Alleluia, Alleluia!
