- 1.
- For all the saints, who from their labors rest,
- Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
- Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed.
- Alleluia, Alleluia!
- 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!
- 3.
- For the Apostles’ glorious company,
- Who bearing forth the Cross o’er land and sea,
- Shook all the mighty world, we sing to Thee:
- Alleluia, Alleluia!
- 4.
- For the Evangelists, by whose blest word,
- Like fourfold streams, the garden of the Lord,
- Is fair and fruitful, be Thy Name adored.
- Alleluia, Alleluia!
- 5.
- For Martyrs, who with rapture kindled eye,
- Saw the bright crown descending from the sky,
- And seeing, grasped it, Thee we glorify.
- Alleluia, Alleluia!
- 6.
- O blest communion, fellowship divine!
- We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
- All are one in Thee, for all are Thine.
- Alleluia, Alleluia!

- 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!

- 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!
- 9.
- The golden evening brightens in the west;
- Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
- Sweet is the calm of paradise the blessed.
- Alleluia, Alleluia!
- 10.
- But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
- The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
- The King of glory passes on His way.
- Alleluia, Alleluia!
- 11.
- From earth’s wide bounds, from ocean’s farthest coast,
- Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
- And singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost:
- Alleluia, Alleluia!
