All Saints' Day

Divine Service, Setting Five

All Saints’ Day has become a day to remember the faithful departed. But today is not only about the saints of the past. The saints of the present faithfully fill our pews and confess the name of Jesus. While Christ has called home His church triumphant, the church militant continues His mission to make disciples of all nations. On this day, we celebrate the victory of Jesus, who makes a home for those who rest in the faith and fuels the church in active service to His kingdom.

Led by Rev. Daniel Carlson

Collect

O ALMIGHTY God, Who has knit together yours elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical Body of your Son. Christ our Lord: Grant us grace so to follow your blessed Saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those unspeakable joys which You have prepared for those who unfeignedly love you; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with you and the Holy Ghost, ever One God, world without end. Amen.

O FEAR the Lord, ye His saints: for there is no want to them that fear Him. V. They that seek the Lord ; shall not want any good thing. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. V. Come to Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden: and I will give you rest. Hallelujah.

1 For all the saints who from their labors rest, who Thee by faith before the world confessed; Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest. Alleluia, Alleluia! 2 Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress and their Might; Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight; Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light. Alleluia, Alleluia! 3 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Alleluia, Alleluia! 4 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph song, and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia, Alleluia! 5 But then there breaks a still more glorious day: the saints triumphant rise in bright array; the King of glory passes on His way. Alleluia, Alleluia! 6 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, in praise of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, Alleluia!
