For all the saints, who from their labours rest,

Hymn written by William Walsham How
  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!
  1. 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!
  1. O my Thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
    Fight as the saints, who nobly fought of old,
    Anhd win, with them the victor's crown of gold.
    Hallelujah!
  1. O blest communion, fellowship divine!
    We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
    Yet all are one in Thee, for all are thine
    Hallelujah!
  1. 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!
  1. 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!
