For all the Saints who from their Labors Rest Lyrics
1. For all the saints
Who from their labours rest
Who thee by faith
Before the world confest,
Thy name, O Jesus
Be for ever 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. O blest communion!
Fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle,
They in glory shine.
Yet all are one in thee,
For all are thine.
Alleluia, alleluia!
5. 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!
6. The golden evening
Brightens in the west,
Soon, soon to faithful
Warriors cometh rest,
Sweet is the calm of
Paradise the blest.
Alleluia, alleluia!
7. But lo! There breaks a
Yet more glorious day,
The saints triumphant
Rise in bright array,
The King of glory
Passes on his way.
Alleluia, alleluia!
8. From earth’s wide bounds,
From ocean’s furthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams
In the countless host,
Singing to Father,
Son and Holy Ghost.
Alleluia, alleluia!
