For all the saints who lived in days gone by We tend their lights so they will never die, Lifting their beacons and our voices high: Alleluia! Alleluia!
We sing of Miriam, Moses' sister strong, Who led God's people with a sacred song And beckons us to sing and dance along: Alleluia! Alleluia! Ruby Horton Berridge, Deaconess FlinFlon 1940
We sing of Deborah, judge of Israel, Whose wisdom lifted sinners when they fell; She guarded peace and settled all things well: Alleluia! Alleluia! Agnes SynderBlokland, Diaconal Minister: Stella Mission, Teulon Residence
Joanna shared her wealth with Jesus' band, Helping the gospel spread to every land; In troubled times she dared to take a stand: Alleluia! Alleluia! Lily Uyeda, Diaconal Minister: Knox , Brandon
For all the saints, and for us gathered here, We ask God's blessing, faith to banish fear, For eyes to see and ears with which to hear. Alleluia! Alleluia! National Diaconal Gathering 2007
