We pray that in your love you hear this prayer,
Although your grace is cried for everywhere.
To save us from despair, we need you near us:
Lord, graciously hear us.

We wayward wayfarers whom they invite
To blaze with love; to set the world alight;
To join them in the joy in which they dwell.
Happy All Saints' Day!

But they have a different reward:

And his wonders in the deep.'
