For all thy saints, O Lord by Benjamin Milgrove — Lyrics
For all thy saints, O Lord,
who strove in thee to live,
who followed thee, obeyed, adored,
our grateful hymn receive.
For all thy saints, O Lord,
who strove in thee to die,
and found in thee a full reward,
accept our thankful cry.
Thine earthly members fit
to join thy saints above,
