Behold the saints of old,
Mere men like you and I.
Yet noble knights unfold -
Such deep devotion lifted high.
Dying to self''s demands;
Faithful to God's commands
Like a farmer's windswept field -
Bowing stalks of wheat - God's plan.
Abundant harvest they yield;
Grace and goodness guiding humble man.
Dying to self''s demands;
Faithful to God's commands
Hallowed heads are bowed in humility;
Stalwart hearts are raised in worship.
Loyal lives respond to God's mercy;
Noble deaths reveal God's Kingship.
