Bible Verses for All Saints' Day

“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.”

— Psalms 116:15

All Saints' Day is the Bible's cloud of witnesses given a date — the "great multitude which no man could number," the faithful finished and the faithful still running. Hebrews 11 is the day's roll call, and these verses are its reading list.

Quick answer: The most-read verse for all saints' day is Psalms 116:15: "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints." Daniel 12:3 is the traditional second reading: "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." All fifteen verses below are shown in full King James text, public domain, with copy buttons and a modern-English toggle on every card.

When to read these verses

These verses are read in the season itself — in services, around tables, in cards, and aloud at the gatherings the date calls for. All Saints' Day is November 1; All Hallows' Eve (Halloween) is the evening before. The list also gets read in preparation: the weeks before, when the readings are chosen and the family texts are picked. 15 verses is deliberate: long enough to cover the occasion's full range, short enough to read through once.

How to use these verses

Copy any verse from its card for a program, a card, a caption, or a reading — every text here is public domain in both translations shown, so no permission is needed for print or projection. Each card toggles between the King James Version and the World English Bible; check the modern rendering before reading aloud if the archaic grammar might get between the listeners and the meaning.
