421   For All the Saints




[1]
For all the saints who from their labors rest
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed
Thy name O Jesus be forever blest:
Alleluia!
Alleluia!

[2]
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:
Alleluia!
Alleluia!

[3]
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:
Alleluia!
Alleluia!

[4]
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.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!

[5]
From earth s wide bounds from ocean s farthest coast
Thro gates of pearl streams in the countless host
Singing to Father Son and Holy Ghost
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
