Lyrics
Verse 1
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!
Verse 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: Alleluia! Alleluia!
Verse 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: Alleluia! Alleluia!
Verse 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. Alleluia! Alleluia!
Verse 5
From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Thro' gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia! Alleluia!
