The saints we are today,
like saints in ages past,
do struggle, strive in joyful toil
to follow in Christ’s path.
We saints of modern age
must heed the ancient call:
to love our neighbors as ourselves,
love God the first of all.
To live a sacred life
make holy every act
speak only justice, mercy, love,
God’s reign on earth enact.
One holy people, we
blest saints and martyrs stand
before the throne of God the King,
sing praises without end.

O.K. I told you lisping is the way that first stanza works for me. Otherwise, mighty fine....
I almost got in trouble...
More later when Oyster is not reading over my shoulder, gloating about the idea that mommy might get in trouble about something.
As I was saying--I almost got in trouble the day I was parent-of-the-day for junior choristers' rehearsal. When the director asked the kids what you have to do to be a saint, I blurted out, "You have to be dead." Luckily, he didn't hear me.
