For all the saints

• • For all the saints, who from their labours rest, 
  • Who Thee by faith before the world confessed, 
  • Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest. 
  • Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 
  • 
    
  • Thou wast their Rock, their fortress, and their might; 
  • Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight; 
  • Thou in the darkness drear their one true light. 
  • Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 
  • 
    
  • O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold, 
  • Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, 
  • And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold! 
  • Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 
  • 
    
  • O blest communion, fellowship divine! 
  • We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; 
  • Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. 
  • Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 
  • 
    
  • And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, 
  • Steals on the ear the distant triumph song, 
  • And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. 
  • Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 
  • 
    
  • The golden evening brightens in the west; 
  • Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest; 
  • Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest. 
  • Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 
  • 
    
  • But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day; 
  • The saints triumphant rise in bright array; 
  • The King of glory passes on His way. 
  • Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 
  • 
    
  • From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, 
  • Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, 
  • Singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost. 
  • Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
