FOR all the saints who from their labours rest,
Who thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blessed,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
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,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
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,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
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,
Hallelujah! 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! Hallelujah!
Who thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blessed,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
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,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
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,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
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,
Hallelujah! 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! Hallelujah!
