| Lyrics: | SAINTS OF GOD
I sing a song of the saints of God
Patient and brave and
true,
Who toiled and fought and lived and died
For the Lord they loved and knew.
And one was a doctor, and one was a queen,
And one was a shepherdess on the green:
They were all of them saints of God -- and I mean,
God helping, to be one
too.
They loved their Lord so dear, so dear,
And his love made them strong;
And
they followed the right, for Jesus's sake,
The whole of their good lives long.
And one
was a soldier, and one was a priest,
And one was slain by a fierce wild beast:
And
there's not any reason -- no, not the least--
Why I shouldn't be one too.
They lived
not only in ages past,
There are hundreds of thousands still
The world is bright with the
joyous saints
Who love to do Jesus' will
You can meet them in school, or in lanes, or
at sea,
In church, or in trains, or in shops, or at tea,
For the saints of God are
folk just like me,
And I mean to be one too.
