|
<p>For all the saints, who from their labors rest,<br>
|
|
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,<br>
|
|
Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed.<br>
|
|
Alleluia, Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress and their Might;<br>
|
|
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well fought fight;<br>
|
|
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light.<br>
|
|
Alleluia, Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>For the Apostles’ glorious company,<br>
|
|
Who bearing forth the Cross o’er land and sea,<br>
|
|
Shook all the mighty world, we sing to Thee:<br>
|
|
Alleluia, Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>For the Evangelists, by whose blest word,<br>
|
|
Like fourfold streams, the garden of the Lord,<br>
|
|
Is fair and fruitful, be Thy Name adored.<br>
|
|
Alleluia, Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>For Martyrs, who with rapture kindled eye,<br>
|
|
Saw the bright crown descending from the sky,<br>
|
|
And seeing, grasped it, Thee we glorify.<br>
|
|
Alleluia, Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>O blest communion, fellowship divine!<br>
|
|
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;<br>
|
|
All are one in Thee, for all are Thine.<br>
|
|
Alleluia, Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold,<br>
|
|
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,<br>
|
|
And win with them the victor’s crown of gold.<br>
|
|
Alleluia, Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,<br>
|
|
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,<br>
|
|
And hearts are brave, again, and arms are strong.<br>
|
|
Alleluia, Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>The golden evening brightens in the west;<br>
|
|
Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;<br>
|
|
Sweet is the calm of paradise the blessed.<br>
|
|
Alleluia, Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;<br>
|
|
The saints triumphant rise in bright array;<br>
|
|
The King of glory passes on His way.<br>
|
|
Alleluia, Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>From earth’s wide bounds, from ocean’s farthest coast,<br>
|
|
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,<br>
|
|
And singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost:<br>
|
|
Alleluia, Alleluia!</p>
