Full Lyrics
VERSE 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 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 blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine.
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
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!
VERSE 6
From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl stream in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
