How shall we pilgrims keep the law of love?
How shall we follow where the Lord has led?
The saints know how: they point the way ahead;
They watch the road to Heaven from above.
The saints were young or old; were great or small;
However they were called, one thing they knew:
Whatever works of woe the world may do,
The Lord shall never let the faithful fall.
So we on earth, we should be saints as well;
It is us pilgrims whom the saints invite
To blaze with love; to set the world alight;
To join them in the joy in which they dwell.
As we must one day die, they also died,
But live now as we hope we too shall live.
To all our friends in Heaven let us give
Our joyful greetings at Allhallowstide!
