Lutheran Hymn Project - Give Thanks for Saints

Give thanks for those whose faith is firm when
All around seems bleak
On God's good promise they rely, so
While they live and when they die
How forcefully they speak
The strong, who once were weak!

Give thanks for those whose hope is clear
Beyond mere mortal sight
Who seek the city God has planned
The true, eternal promised land
And steer on toward that light
A beacon ever bright

Give thanks for those whose love is pure
A sparkling precious stone
They show by what they say and do
An inward beauty, warm and true
For God's concerns they own
God's love through them is known

Give thanks for saints of ages past
And saints alive today
Though often by this world despised
Their hearts by God are richly prized
Give thanks that we may say
We share their pilgrim way
