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!
