We sing for all the unsung saints,

That countless, nameless throng.

Who kept the faith and passed it on

With hope steadfast and strong

Through all the daily griefs and joys

No chronicles record,

Forgetful of their lack of fame

But mindful of their Lord.

So we take heart from unknown saints

Bereft of earthly fame,

Those faithful ones who have received

A more enduring name;

For they reveal true blessing comes

When we our pride efface

And offer back our lives to be

The vessels of God’s grace.
