A Prayer for All-Saints Day
Sing praises to God, all you saints, and give thanks to God's holy name! We exalt you, O God, for You have restored us to life!
We may cry through the night, but Your joy comes with the morning! You hear us, O God, and You are gracious in our distress. You turn our mourning into dancing! Our souls cannot be silent!
O God, our Savior, we give thanks to You for ever!
-The Methodist Book of Worship, 1965
