For all the saints

For All the Saints 

For all the saints who from their labor rest,

Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,

Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blessed,

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 fight is fierce, the warfare long,

Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,

And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.

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!

(1864) (William How)
