Verse 1
For all the saints
Who from their labours rest
Who Thee by faith
Before the world confessed
Thy name O Jesus
Be forever blest
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

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

Verse 4
O blest communion
Fellowship divine
We feebly struggle
They in glory shine
Yet all are one in Thee
For all are Thine
Alleluia

Verse 5
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

Verse 6
The golden evening
Brightens in the west
Soon soon to faithful
Warriors cometh rest
Sweet is the calm
Of paradise the blest
Alleluia

Verse 7
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

Verse 8
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
Alleluia
