Saints Shekinah* (*glory)

Tune: Sine Nomine

('For all the saints')

*******

You saints above, who bright in glory shine

Now do behold the countenance divine

And do partake of eternal fare fine

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Yet too on earth, your people saints you make

Sanctified, the price you paid for our sake

We redeemed, on cross you our place did take

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

And ongoing, sanctifying process

We changed to image of your Son no less

By working of your Spirit we confess

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

We all saints, not just some preferred elite

Accepted by you at your mercy seat

Sharing in your victory, not defeat

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Mansions you prepare us, you gone before

Giving us grace now from your treasure-store

To grow in all things loving, true, and pure

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

We have no merits of our own, for we

Cannot ourselves save, this you know and see

And sent us Christ, our Saviour for to be

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

All glory, honour, praise and thanks your due

Salvation you bring us, you great things do

Graces and gifts your people you endue

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

'Till Rapture calls us to eternal shore

There to be with you, our Lord evermore

We endless shall praise, worship, and adore

Alleluia, Alleluia!
