All Souls Day

All ye humble sojourners rest in peace
From this tired troubled earth you’ve been set free
Your souls ensconced in the heavenly home 
Be thou our guide as we pray with thee

Before the Holy One ye stretch in full obeisance
In contemplation , worship and prayer offering
Separate from us , yet united in Christ’s body 
Church - triumphant,  militant and suffering

As we await the glory that is to come
To God’s chosen, predestined ones 
Let us shield our eyes from the destruction unfolding
While we sing our psalms  with our daughters and sons

When evil has run its course in time
And a great many nations  fall and rise
The people of God will be gathered together
Christ will rule with peace and end our cries

How great will be that glorious day
When the Sons of God will be revealed
A thousand splendid suns will shine
When the Book of Life will be unsealed.
