A Pagan adaptation of a traditional Christian All Saints song to Samhain. Written in 2006.
Who for a time in Summerland now guest,
And wait in peace 'till to this world again they quest.
Life triumphs forever;
Blessed be the Goddess!
Their forebears too, who once did they enshrine,
They meet, again, in beauteous world divine;
But Earth still waits, around them once more to entwine.
Life triumphs forever;
Blessed be the Goddess!
Our golden evening brightens in the west;
And all too soon in death's arms we shall nest;
But Summerland waits, for our returning quest.
Life triumphs forever;
Blessed be the Goddess!
But lo! there breaks a brighter, shining day;
Their sorrows quenched, once more all come to play
And this fair Earth, souls once again survey
Life triumphs forever;
Blessed be the Goddess!
From Earth to Summerland and back again
It matters not which world in which we den;
Where'er we are, we'll find a restful glen.
Life triumphs forever;
Blessed be the Goddess!

Our Blessed Dead
Our blessed dead, who for a time now rest,Who for a time in Summerland now guest,
And wait in peace 'till to this world again they quest.
Life triumphs forever;
Blessed be the Goddess!
Their forebears too, who once did they enshrine,
They meet, again, in beauteous world divine;
But Earth still waits, around them once more to entwine.
Life triumphs forever;
Blessed be the Goddess!
Our golden evening brightens in the west;
And all too soon in death's arms we shall nest;
But Summerland waits, for our returning quest.
Life triumphs forever;
Blessed be the Goddess!
But lo! there breaks a brighter, shining day;
Their sorrows quenched, once more all come to play
And this fair Earth, souls once again survey
Life triumphs forever;
Blessed be the Goddess!
From Earth to Summerland and back again
It matters not which world in which we den;
Where'er we are, we'll find a restful glen.
Life triumphs forever;
Blessed be the Goddess!
