WE ARE REMINDED OF THE POWER OF GOD'S LOVE, WHICH HAS CONQUERED SIN AND DEATH, AND HAS GIVEN US THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE.IN THIS HYMN, WE ALSO SING OF THE SAINTS, WHO HAVE LIVED THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE OF GOD AND HAVE BEEN CROWNED WITH GLORY. WE SING OF THE ANGELS AND ARCHANGELS, WHO HAVE BEEN SENT BY GOD TO GUIDE AND PROTECT US.
