For All the Saints Lyrics

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!

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!

Oh, blest communion, fellowship divine

We feebly struggle, they in glory shine

Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine

Alleluia! Alleluia!

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!

The golden evening brightens in the west

Soon, soon to faithful servants cometh rest

Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest

Alleluia! Alleluia!

But then there breaks a yet more glorious day

The saints triumphant rise in bright array

The King of glory passes on his way

Alleluia! Alleluia!

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

Alleluia! Alleluia!
