(1) For all the saints, who from their labours rest,Who Thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy name, O Jesus, be for ever blessed. Hallelujah! |
(2) Tho 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. Hallelujah! |
|
(3) O my 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. Hallelujah! |
(4) O blest communion, fellowship divine!We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in Thee, for all are thine Hallelujah! |
|
(5) But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;The saints triumphant rise in bright array; The King of glory passes on His way. Hallelujah! |
(6) 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 — Hallelujah! |
