I Sing a Song of the Saints of God Lyrics
1 I sing a song of the saints of God,
patient and brave and true,
who toiled and fought and lived and died
for the Lord they loved and knew.
And one was a doctor, and one was a queen,
and one was a shepherdess on the green:
they were all of them saints of God, and I mean,
God helping, to be one too.
2 They loved their Lord so dear, so dear,
and God’s love made them strong;
and they followed the right, for Jesus’ sake,
the whole of their good lives long.
And one was a soldier, and one was a priest,
and one was slain by a fierce wild beast:
and there’s not any reason, no, not the least,
why I shouldn’t be one too.
3 They lived not only in ages past;
there are hundreds of thousands still;
the world is bright with the joyous saints
who love to do Jesus’ will.
You can meet them in school, or in lanes, or at sea,
in church, or in trains, or in shops, or at tea;
for the saints of God are just folk like me,
and I mean to be one too.
I Sing a Song of the Saints of God Hymn Story
“I Sing a Song of the Saints of God” is a Christian hymn that was composed by Lesbia Scott. It was first published in England in 1929.
Lesbia Scott was born in 1898 and passed away in 1986. Most of the songs she composed were for children.
This is a hymn that expresses the desire to be like the saints of God. The saints who toiled and died for the Lord they loved.
Their love was so great that they left everything they had to tell others of the love of God.
The saints who loved God more than their lives that they were willing to die for Him.
Some were killed by wild beasts and other means for spreading the gospel.
Why should you not be one like these saints? The world needs saints filled with the love of God in their hearts.
