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


O 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


But then there breaks a still 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
in praise of Father Son and Holy Ghost
Alleluia Alleluia
